## Resource

Hidden in the Ozarks near Eureka Springs lies the forgotten story of Dinosaur World, later known as John Agar’s Land of Kong—one of Arkansas’s strangest roadside attractions. Built in 1967 by eccentric entrepreneur Ola Farwell with the help of sculptor Emmet Sullivan , the park featured life-sized concrete dinosaurs, cavemen, and a towering 40-foot King Kong statue tied to Hollywood actor John Agar . This episode explores the rise and fall of the once-popular Ozark attraction, its connections to Hollywood, classic monster movies and roadside Americana, and how the abandoned park became an eerie, overgrown relic reclaimed by the forest.
