Davidsonville Historic State Park

This park is in Pocahontas, Arkansas.  Davidsonville, founded in 1815, was perhaps the most important frontier settlement in northeast Arkansas. Though abandoned by the 1830s, it was the site of several Arkansas “firsts.” While a part of Missouri Territory’s Lawrence County, it was the location of the first post office in what would become Arkansas. In 1820, Arkansas Territory’s first federal land office was also established there, and the first Arkansas courthouse was built in 1822.

Not much left of the site, but I did find something definitely worthy of taking a picture :)

Here's a comparison between our Casita and our next door neighbor in their Oliver.  We are on the way tomorrow to take another look at the Oliver now that we have been living in our Casita for 15 months.

Patricia and Mark were kind were kind enough to give us a tour of their trailer and share their bundle of joy, Ginger, with us :)
