The place

Joined 1836 · 25th state · Confederate in the Civil War · Central time

Arkansas is the quiet part of the South, more hills than delta once you leave the Mississippi, and the state that produced both Johnny Cash and Walmart. The Ozarks in the north are old, worn mountains full of spring water and hand-built cabins, and the delta in the east is flat rice country that floods on purpose. Go for the Buffalo National River, the first river in the country protected that way, and dig at the Crater of Diamonds, which is the only diamond mine on earth where the public keeps what it finds.

Home to the only diamond mine on earth where the public can dig and keep what they find.
