While Granny frequently mentioned that she was from Tennessee, the series never specified the state from which the Clampetts moved to California. However, they often referred to nearby towns such as Joplin, Branson, Springfield and Silver Dollar City, all of which are in southwest Missouri. In episode 8, of season 8, "Manhattan Hillbillies", Granny tells the Police Officer in Central Park that her family comes from Taney County, (SW Missouri). Early episodes also contained several references to Eureka Springs, which is in northwest Arkansas. All of the communities are in the Ozark Mountains. The show's producer Paul Henning is from Independence, Missouri and donated 1,534 acres (621 ha) for the Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area near Branson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beverly_Hillbillies Apr 08 10, 12:28 AM
