A place worth knowing
Make room for Harrison.
Let Harrison anchor a day of local history or a scheduled show before a separately planned Buffalo River outing. The surrounding public lands are expansive, with different entrances and seasonal conditions. Leave room for a meal and the real drive to your chosen trail or river access.
A few good ways to begin.
Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.
Lyric Theater
Choose a scheduled public performance at the historic theatre through the arts council’s calendar. Confirm the venue, tickets and arrival instructions; an exterior landmark is different from access to the auditorium.
Plan this visit ↗Buffalo National River
Choose a separate park outing to a specific trail or public river access. Check river levels, weather and closures, and arrange any float equipment and shuttle independently; a saved town marker is not a launch point.
