One evening a couple summers ago, we stopped by the Town Square at Mansfield, Missouri, to enjoy a music evening. When we parked, we were right next to an elderly gentleman who is a Mansfield native staying in his vehicle while listening to the music. We never got our lawn chairs to the Square because we got to visiting with this gentleman.
He knew so much about the community and made it all terrifically interesting. The one little item we liked the best was about Freeze Out and Freeze Out Church. It seems that our road -- Rock Road (well and appropriately named) was once the path of Hwy 5 and a church building if nothing else sat near where our home sits which was known as Freeze Out.
There's not a sign on the spot, but if you see a sweet little red house in the valley, nestled among trees and grass with a couple black horses in the yard, you can know you are close to Freeze Out. (A couple days last winter, in my office which is slightly off the heat and ac system, I felt really close to Freeze Out)
