Candle Making Workshop
Candles were a vital part of frontier life and pioneers had to make their own with the materials they had on hand.

Must be 12 years or older. Space is limited and early registration is required. Call the park to sign up.

Davidsonville Legacy Week
The town site of Davidsonville has been preserved as a state park since 1957 when land was generously donated to the state by the Davis family. As part of the Arkansas State Parks system, Davidsonville is protected for future generations to visit and enjoy. Activities and talks will be held throughout the week and weekend to celebrate the history of the park and the people who have contributed to its creation and preservation.
