==Economy==
{{unreferenced section|date=February 2023}}
The local economy is largely tourism-based. Numerous hotels and restaurants exist to serve travelers who come to visit the nearby [[Blanchard Springs Caverns]], in [[Fifty-Six, Arkansas|Fifty-Six]], Arkansas, The [[Ozark Folk Center]] State Park, and [http://locoropes.com Loco Ropes] Treetop Adventure Park. Many others seek the world-renowned trout fishing of the [[White River (Arkansas)|White River]], or the excellent camping, hiking and mountain-biking that can be found in the [[Ozark National Forest]]. A few live music and variety shows, such as the White River Hoedown, also entertain travelers by mixing contemporary country, [[Gospel music|gospel]] and [[bluegrass music]] with a bit of local humor. However, the majority of visitors to Mountain View come to attend one of the two major [[festivals]] held here every year, and to enjoy the impromptu [[folk music]] jam sessions that occur around the courthouse square.

The remainder of the local economy consists mostly of agriculture, specifically the farming of livestock, primarily cattle and [[chickens]]. Large-scale industrial activities in the area are overall nonexistent, excepting a few small manufacturing companies. The Stone County Iron Works, a nationally known company that produces iron furniture, fixtures and housewares, is headquartered in Mountain View. Recently, the city has seen expansion of its personal aircraft maintenance and repair industry.

Stone County, along with four of six neighboring Arkansas counties, is a [[dry county]].
