Why would someone spend nearly 50 years buying land until he owned an area the exact size of Central Park?

This is the story of Don Robinson: entrepreneur/inventor and the man behind one of Missouri’s most unique state parks.

In the PBS documentary that much of this footage comes from, Don said, “I had to do something about it or else my melon-head cousins, out of nowhere, would come out of the woodwork and sell the joint in over a weekend or something.”

The more I read and watched, the more I liked the guy.

Thanks, Don. We love the place you WILLED us. ❤️

The Gateway to the WEST! Compared to Yellowstones 2.2 million acres. The Arch’s 91 acres pales in comparisons. Though small, this monument signifies the spirit of ADVENTURE. Countless explorers and travelers stopped here before embarking into the unknown.

Missouri has some truly remarkable places to hike, camp, fish, explore, and get lost in. We’re lucky, but have you ever stopped to wonder how some of these places came to be?

In a world where it can feel like individuals don’t have much power, these next few stories are about the people who proved otherwise. The will, determination, and generosity behind those who donated land to create some of Missouri’s most beloved state parks.

The first story is Helen Hawn.

WILLED.

These have been a long time coming.

A small collection of vintage-inspired prints celebrating some of the places that make this state feel like home. From the overlooks at Castlewood, to the pines at Hawn, the rugged beauty of Taum Sauk, the lush green of Mark Twain National Forest, and the iconic grounds of Gateway Arch National Park.

Each print is made to feel like a memory from a place you’ve been, a trail you love, or a corner of Missouri worth returning to.

Available now! (LOCAL PICKUP ONLY)

The Spring Collection explores how nature shapes our sense of place across the Midwest, especially in a season defined by renewal, new life, and remembering what’s worth protecting.

At Gateway Arch National Park, nature feels like a modern part of the city, woven into blooming trees, open paths, and the skyline itself.

At Hughes Mountain, spring brings fresh life to a landscape 1.5 billion years in the making.

At Wah’Kon-Tah Prairie, the collection honors an ecosystem that once covered much of Missouri and still comes alive each spring with native grasses, wildflowers, and wildlife.

In Cleveland, the Forest City reminds us how trees, parks, and green spaces can become part of a city’s identity.

Together, these pieces reflect a collection rooted in rebirth, deep time, and the beauty of places worth noticing, protecting, and keeping alive. Hope you enjoy :)
