Experiencing Interruptions?

Big Buffalo Golden Gals

Join us in a big yellow raft as we explore the iconic Buffalo National River, the first national river in the United States, with four cousins who grew up along the majestic stream. One hundred and eighty-five years after their family settled this area, these tough Ozark women ages 73-83 take us on an adventure of a lifetime, telling stories and reminiscing about days gone by. In “Big Buffalo Golden Gals” we invite you to hop in the raft and enjoy a different perspective, the women’s side of life along the river. Often in our culture, (Appalachian and Ozark) the men’s stories are well documented and have been the only history shared over time. We hope you enjoy our documentary of how life was experienced by these amazing women as they share their personal stories and memories of days gone by.
