and you can find yourself in beautiful Branson, Lake of the Ozarks, or Springfield.

of Lebanon know of the beauty and recreation Lebanon has to offer.
Lebanon is a friendly and progressive community. The city's increasingly
diversified economy ranks among the top 15 communities statewide in manufacturing
employment. The service sector of the economy is growing, particularly in the area
of health care. Agriculture remains a cornerstone of the Laclede County economy.
