Arrow Rock National Historic Landmark



This was the first time I visited Arrow Rock and it will not be my last. It's an historic riverport with lots of interesting things to see and do. The gutters along the street are made of limestone blocks representing the hard work of the slave days. The sidewalks through town are still made out of wood planks. The entire town of Arrow Rock was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964.

If you go to Arrow Rock, be sure to get a visitor's guide and do the walking tour and watch the film in the visitors center.

The Old Tavern looked like a very interesting place to eat lunch. It was a little pricey so we're saving it for another trip. Instead we opted for an ice cream cone at the country store. All they had was vanilla, but it was good.



Arrow Rock State Park is adjacent to the town and has picnicking, camping, and a small fishing lake. The campground was very nice and I think it will be worth pulling our trailer there this fall.
