Years have passed since this barn served the owners.
It stands on the side of Highway 21 just north of Kingston, Arkansas
Still being used for storage this barn sits along the
side of State Route 43N five miles south of Ponca, Arkansas
Once a busy road side stop for travelers to the Buffalo
River, Villines' Store is now used for storge. The rock work offers
a look at the craftman's skill.
Using only native stone from the area it has weathered
many storms and hot summers.
The building sits near Ponca, Arkansas on State Route
43.
The barn of James A. Villines sits in a secluded area
just off State Route 43 near Ponca. The barn served the Villines
Family form 1880 to 1940.

Only a portion of the bridge can be seen from the bank
of the river.
Now for some road action that isn't really roads...but
the Buffalo River...by driving on the road.

Farm. Not much we could do about the haze....was in the 90's this
day and a lot of humidity
Near the Pruitt Ranger Station this photo shows the
bluffs that are common along the Buffalo River
Now, on to something for the Firefighter visitors
