ADA MCMILLIAN was from the Chilton area and was known as the "Queen of the fiddlers" at the time of the county's centennial. Ada learned to play by ear- which was the proper way to play a fiddle. Like her parents, she played at many square dances. Square danceing was one of the pleasures and recreation of the pioneers. A log house required a house-warming in the form of a square dance, with plenty of eats and a not too meager supply of the home-made. Square dances and church meetings were held in the homes of the pioneers. These kept the early families in touch with each other. Square dances are a part of the Ozark heritage and heve helped to make Carter County unique and picturesque in its own particular way
We've traveled far and wide
We've crossed oceans, mountains, climbed the Great Divide.
Seen so many places,
But none will e'er compare,
To the woodlands
of an Ozark pioneer.......
