Leo Drey donated the Greer Spring Campaign files to the SHSMO-Research Center St. Louis on March 31, 1995.
In February 1988 Leo Drey purhased Greer Spring, the most pristine of Missouri's big springs located in the south central part of the state. He intended to hold the land and preserve it until money could be raised to make it part of the Mark Twain National Forest. Drey offered $4.5 million for the spring and its surrounding 7,000-acre tract, eventually turning it over to the Mark Twain on terms that included a $1 million donation.
