Ozarkaeology was created when its owners were faced with the demolition of the historic Southwest Regional Stockyards in Springfield, Missouri. As natives of the area, intimately familiar with the structure and its history, we recognized that simply leveling this structure and sending it to the landfill would not be environmentally responsible.
Setting forth to find an alternate destiny for the treasured monument, we soon found that flooring made from the rough-sawn old growth oak structure, matched the needs of a locally based retailer undergoing significant national expansion. This was the basis for Ozarkaeology's initial manufacturing of reclaimed and refined hard wood flooring. Ozarkaeology has ever since been actively rescuing the Ozarks' old barns and buildings from a fate of certain demolition or collapse and converting the distinguished aged lumber into unique flooring of unparalleled beauty.
