Parkin Archeological State Park, Native American archaeological site in Parkin, Arkansas.
The archaeological site spans 17 acres along the St. Francis River, featuring a central platform mound and remnants of a palisaded Mississippian Period village.
The location corresponds to the Native American settlement of Casqui, documented in chronicles from Hernando de Soto's expedition through the region in 1541.
The research station at the park conducts ongoing archaeological excavations, revealing details about the daily activities of the Mississippian people from 1000 to 1550.
The visitor center contains interpretive exhibits, an archaeological laboratory, and offers guided tours Wednesday through Sunday, with free admission for self-guided experiences.
The Northern Ohio School, constructed in 1910, remains the only preserved historic schoolhouse built for lumber mill workers' children in early Parkin.
