Historic Old Washington State Park, Arkansas
Tourist Wagons
This small community was home to some of my ancestors starting way back in the 1820's- Buster, Moss, Sutton & Webb.
Every spring, the town hosts the Jonquil Festival, with vendors, great food and music. The Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives is also located here, and if you enjoy genealogy, it is a great resource for 13 counties in Southwest Arkansas.

Barn Charm
Ah ha, another place in Arkansas I haven't seen and should.

ReplyDeleteI've never been to Arkansas! sandie
ReplyDeleteSeems like my kids took field trips there when they were in elementary school. I've never been!
ReplyDeleteOld Washington State Park sounds like a neat place --especially in Spring.. Are their Jonquils the same as what most of us call Daffodils???? (My mother called them Jonquils also.)
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to find this place sometime when we visit Arkansas again.

Cannot imagine using that wagon! How cool is that?!

ReplyDeleteThat tourist wagon sure is cool!
ReplyDeleteI think we can safely assume this one is well loved...
ReplyDeleteGreat barn...I want a ride in that wagon :)
ReplyDeleteLove the picket fence beside the barn.
ReplyDeleteThose wagons are quite charming and very fashionable. I think I'd need a ruffled dress and a parasol to ride in one. :)
Terrific barn finds!

ReplyDeleteWhat a dear little barn and those tourist wagons remind me of the ones here in Lexington. I rode in one in Rome, Italy, and that was it. Have never done it here in the states. Your captures are lovely. genie
