Powhatan Historic State Park, Historic state park in Lawrence County, Arkansas
The 9.1-acre park contains preserved buildings from the 19th century, including the 1888 courthouse, jail, schoolhouse, and residential structures along the Black River.
The settlement named after Native American chief Powhatan in 1837 developed into a commercial center due to river transportation until the railroad's arrival in 1883.
The Northeast Arkansas Regional Archives within the park maintains historical records and documents that detail the development of Lawrence County and surrounding regions.
Visitors can join guided tours of the restored buildings, participate in educational programs, and explore exhibits that demonstrate 19th-century life in Arkansas.
The park preserves the 1873 jail building that later served as a cannery through local women's clubs before its restoration to original condition.
