There was once a community that existed side by side with Sulphur Springs. It was named Ozark Colony and was the brainchild of Walter R. Eaton, who had moved to the Sulphur Springs area in 1921.
Thirty-one years ago, there was a slave auction at Colonial Williamsburg. On October 10, 1994, two Black men and two Black women were led up the steps and onto the porch of an 18th-century tavern.
