Fuchs House

US Forest Service · Missouri

Fuchs House in Missouri. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 152 public campsites we map in Missouri.

In the late 1930s, Rudolph Fuchs built a five bedroom concrete and native stone house for his family, and also built the present wheel house to produce electricity for his needs. Power was obtained by building a dam in a semi-circle below a large spring forming a small pond. The water was to pour through a chute on the wheel to produce electricity; however, electricity arrived to the site before the wheel ever needed to do its job.
