AND
Granny frequently mentions that she was born and raised around Limestone, Tennessee, near Greeneville, but the state from which the Clampetts move to California is never revealed. Although it is mentioned in several episodes they are from the Ozarks, there are various, sometimes conflicting, clues found in certain episodes, but most lean towards southern Missouri or northern Arkansas.
In season one, episode 8 "Jethro Goes to School", Jethro is said to have graduated from Oxford, and shown driving by a sign that says "Leaving Oxford, Arkansas", which is in
northern Arkansas.
In season five, episode 17, it is claimed that they come from the town of "Bug Tussle" in an unspecified state.
In season eight, episode 3, the Clampetts visit Silver Dollar City, which is said to be near their home. The real Silver Dollar City is an amusement park city located in
Taney County, Missouri, and was open at the time of the shows airing (and parts of the episode were filmed there).
In season eight, episode 8 "Manhattan Hillbillies", Granny states they are from
Taney County.
