Indeed, the rest stop is themed to educate visitors about windmills, which are prevalent in the adjacent two counties. Adair County hosts one on the largest wind farms in the country. And I could see why as it was very windy out. The rest stop is new with picnic tables under windmill themed pavilions. The building with restrooms is filled with windmill art and factoids throughout. The stop is immaculate and offers state maps. The art was designed by David Dalhquist with others assisting. There is a small playground for toddlers so they can work out pent-up traveling energy. (If only they could harness that energy.) Inside, there is a bank of vending machines. Parking for cars and trucks is limited, but was not crowded during my visit. The building and lots are handicapped friendly. There is a pet walking area. I like stops that teach about the surrounding area. The windmill stop is interesting and worth checking out.

As always, wish people would pick up after their dogs. Facility is clean, lots of travel brochures and free coffee too. The grounds are beautiful, and spacious. There is plenty of room to stroll, let the dogs sniff and explore (on leash) and burn off energy. Take a walk up to the metal sculptures behind the facility for a perfect photo opportunity - the dog photos in the sculpture trails were some of the favorites from the trip. !! Welcome to Missouri - the woman staffing the office was really friendly and helpful. We chatted about the Budweiser Clydesdale art piece and how our former show Dalmatian was mom to two of the dogs on the rigs. Beautiful sight and would recommend stopping past on your way south.

The building is themed as a tribute to century farms in the area, with it being shaped as a clerestory window barn.

The roof is supported by glulam framing which adds to the natural, warm feeling that the space gives off. In the back, there's a room that has all glass walls, providing views of the forested area in the back with a trail. Around the building there are picnic tables and a pet relief area.
