GURDON

GURDON LIGHT
One thing the town is well-known for is the " Gurdon Light, "
an unexplained supernatural light based on local folklore that
was featured on the TV show Unsolved Mysteries. According to
legends, the light appears as a deceased railwayman's lantern.
INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF HOO-HOO
A unique event to occur in Gurdon was the founding of the
Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo. Founded in 1892 in the Hotel
Hall, the organization serves as the international lumbermen's
association.
NOTABLE PLACES
History enthusiasts traveling through Gurdon might want to
view the June Sandidge House, Ronoake Baptist Church, Missouri Pacific Depot, Horace Estes House and the Hoo-Hoo
Monument, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
GURDON LAKE
Gurdon Lake & Park provides 50 acres of outdoor family fun!
Explore the playground with treehouse and Red Caboose, and

lake with a kayaking adventure. To learn more about Gurdon,
