Powhatan State Park

Fall Fun at Powhatan

Saturday has finally arrived and the girls and I are looking for adventure once again. This time we found it at Powhatan Historic State Park.  It is located near Black Rock, Arkansas. On our way we found some flea markets for browsing.  The grounds at the state park house many different buildings. There is a telephone exchange building, which would be a great place to take pictures of the family.  The jail was my oldest daughter's favorite because of the creepy factor. 

 I didn't get a picture of the jail, we were too in grossed in its history.

 
Probably the most involved building is the 1888 Courthouse, you are allowed to go in and peruse all of the artifacts inside without a fee. That is always subject to change, but that is also one of my favorite things about Arkansas State parks-- most are free. I think that some people believe the courthouse is haunted, which would make for a great trip around Halloween. They have a special activities around that time of year as well. They also have bathrooms. The buildings are along a path that is easily accessible.
