A Gathering Place
Located at the confluence of two rivers, Arkansas Post has served as a gathering place for many cultures throughout human history - it represents cultural cooperation, conflict, synthesis, and diversity.

This site is off the beaten path but well worth the time to visit. Arkansas Post is a cross section of our history from pre Colonial times to the Civil War. We stopped at the Visitor Center to take in the site movie and exhibits. The movie was one of the best we have seen and explained the history of the site very well. While small, the Visitor Center still packed with allot of exhibits that also explained the site's history well. There is no BARK Ranger program, but we got to buy Daisy a collar tag to add to her collection. We headed out to walk down to the old townsite. There is nothing left of the townsite due to the Civil War battle fought here and the ravages of time. The Confederate fort is under water now. We had a great walk and saw lots of Canadian Geese and their goslings. We spent two hours here and saw most of what was offered.
