Welcome to
Waynesville
Waynesville is the small Ozark town next to Fort Leonard Wood, with a Route 66 corridor that includes the iconic Frog Rock — a natural rock formation painted to resemble a frog, one of the most distinctive Route 66 photo stops in Missouri.
The 1856 Old Stagecoach Stop Museum (free) is the oldest building in Pulaski County, and Roubidoux Spring Park provides Ozark scenery just off the highway.
