We Welcome YOU
The Lake Area
Chamber of Commerce had
its humble beginnings as the
Pomme de Terre Lake League.
This organization was formed
by businesses around the
lake to promote tourism. For
several years the members
would travel to Kansas, Iowa,
Oklahoma and St Louis, Mo.
to attend sport and boat
shows to showcase the beautiful
Lake Pomme de Terre. At
these events they would talk
to thousands of attendees
trying to convince them that
there was a “naturally peaceful”
lake for the family. There
water as there was with some
of the other Ozark reservoirs.
A place where you and your
family felt safe and could just
spend time together enjoying
the outdoors and water
sports.
After a while there
was a need for the League to
expand. The entire area was
tourism the Lake was drawing.
Soon, the members formed
what is now the Pomme de
Terre Lake Area Chamber of
Commerce. We not only promote
the Lake, but all of our
member businesses as well in
order to showcase what Hickory
County has to offer. Our
members are a mix of lifelong
residents, retirees who have
opened a business in a small
community or others who
have found a wonderful life
moving here from other parts
of the Country. What we have
found is that Hickory County,
Missouri is a great place to
live, raise our families and
have fun with our business.
Naturally peaceful,
Lake Pomme de Terre at
your back door. Come and
visit. You just may stay for a
lifetime.
