I lived in monte ne for yrs, we used to hang out down there, even camped out on the top floor and played painball fished cooked meals, never was into vandalism but was fun when younger, and appreciated the history all the yrs i lived there
There are Barnetts in my family tree; maybe we're distantly related. My mother's father was that lineage. I think he was from Tennessee though. My father's family was from Arkansas and both sides of his family were there many generations. They had a log house that my great-grandfather and my grandfather built.
🔺 He was close to Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville? Beautiful area, great Water. I had clients in NW Arkansas. I assure you, through his experiences, he remained successful and wealthy in a far more Higher Minded and Achieved manner. It could have been restored, goodness knows, there is abundant wealth in that area, no excuse. The current power$ of the area preferred he be forgotten or they would have saved the remains.

I lived in Bentonville for 20 years. Eaten the chicken many times and truly enjoyed it. I've taken lots of pictures of the area. However I've totally enjoyed this video. I often wondered what it was. From 2000 to 2019 I've loved that area. Thanks for the video
Joyzelle was actually a girls' camp -- not a school. I went there from 1953 - 1959, It was great! Mis Iris (Armstrong) was the owner and director. Many, Many wonderful memories!
I'm from here, grew up here and live here. Because of outsiders "they" decided to destroy a wonderful landmark. I crawled around the ruins in the 70's and was smart enough not to get hurt. I wish all the outsiders would just go back where they came from. :(
@@brickbrker Outsiders from cali, Chicago and other places. Basically anyone not respecting our community and where not raised here with our local values. You are obviously trying to conjur up a racist bunch of non-sense. Typical liberal POS. Or, maybe you are on my side and are insinuating something else in which I totally mis judged, and I apologize.
Nanny State destroying ruins so that we don't exercise our right to have a little risk. Tear down the mountains so that we don't climb them and drain the waters so that we don't drown. You are so disheartening. I'm glad that the Ampitheatre is protected from you.
I'm so glad that I was able to see the tower a few months before they took it down.

I remember swimming here & seeing old cars submerged. My dad remembers walking the entire resort.
I was lucky enough to see the tower just a few months before they disassembled it. It was very cool to see it.
I was able to do a 3d scan of the concrete building before the took it down. You can walk around in it in a metaquest.
How do you do that?
I would love to be able to view this how can we?
Very interesting bit of history presented in an articulate manner. Thank you!! 😎👍

I'm not sure you can save what would be going underwater.
I’ve seen the Monte Ne ruins when Beaver Lake is low while heading to eat at the Monte Ne Inn. Great food! Nice to see a video from NWA.

Thank you for doing this interesting bit of history; I live here in the Batesville area and I had never heard of this.
Im glad they can't destroy my memorys of monte ne.

The death rattle of a grand dream. Sad.
Great Job, Joel!
Interesting historical fact. 👍👍
So... you protected history by destroying the remains. Horrible... just horrible...

"They"? Lmao. Go on, just say it.

You are not better preserving the site by destroying it!!!!!!!! Omg!! I was there in 2006 when the lake was down and climbed the tower 😩
You literally are destroying your own history
So you tear it down to better preserve it? Well that makes sense. You’re not preserving it.
