Tucked away in a very rural portion of Southeast Arkansas is a National Park Unit, the Arkansas Post. It also has a nearby state site by the same name that includes one original building and four reconstructed places. The NPS unit is on the actual site where first Spanish, the French settlers began a settlement that predated New Orleans by 40 years. It is the site of a Civil War skirmish and was the first capital of Arkansas boasting quite a town of more than 1000 residents. None of the structures or any of the forts remain today, the only things are Confederate earthen works. The region was under five flags: two French, one Spanish, USA and Confederate. The VC was closed but the grounds were open and we walked about 2 miles on flat trails.
