Lone Jack Attractions
A giant Black Jack Oak tree stood for centuries towering over the prairies, it was used as a land mark by the Native Americans and when the white man came this is where the town derived its name. The town was on the edge of the great prairie and wagon trains of pioneers used the area as a rest stop on their way further west.
