Davidsonville Historic State Park
Davidsonville Historic State Park, Archaeological site and state park in Pocahontas, US.
The park spans 163 acres along the Black River, featuring remains of a frontier settlement with reconstructed period structures and walking paths.
Davidsonville held Arkansas Territory's first post office in 1817 and courthouse in 1822, before declining when the Southwest Trail changed routes in 1830.
Archaeological excavations across the park reveal the layout of streets, building foundations, and everyday objects from early Arkansas settlers.
The park maintains 25 camping sites, fishing areas, boat rentals, picnic spots, and a visitor center with exhibits of frontier artifacts.
A replica of an 1820s hunter-trapper flatboat stands in the visitor center, demonstrating early river transportation methods in Arkansas Territory.
