Newton County Court House - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

The Buffalo National River, the Nation's first Federally protected River, is one of the last free-flowing streams in mid-America and offers clear blue water for many great activities along the towering limestone bluffs.
The Ozark Mountains landscape of Newton County is rugged and mountainous.

Newton County was formed in 1842 and named for Thomas W. Newton, a Arkansas congressman.
The Old county courthouse was destroyed by fire in 1938, and the present building reflects a determination that this kind of disaster would never happen again.
Not only is the entire building fireproof, but also in every room is a fireproof vault. The outside walls and the cross walls are granite quarried from the bed of the Little Buffalo River and the floors are cement. The cornerstone of the building carries a reminder of the post-depression years: U.S.A - 1939 - WPA.

The Choctaw Indians once lived in this part of the Ozarks.
And called the Buffalo River Basin their home.

We always have a great time on our visits to this part of the Ozarks.

As always have fun be safe and
