The town has a fascinating history, with evidence of Native American settlements dating back thousands of years. You can visit the Arkansas State University-Newport to learn more about the region's indigenous peoples and their traditions. And, fun fact: Newport was once a major train hub, with trains carrying cotton and other goods to and from the town.
But Newport isn't just about history; it's also a nature lover's paradise. The nearby White River offers fishing, boating, and even kayaking opportunities, so you can get your adventure fix. And, if you're feeling really brave, you can try zip lining through the Arkansas woods – just watch out for those sneaky squirrels!
