What to Do in Ardmore

Learn More

Ardmore was the site of a track-side tent city, which Santa Fe Railroad officials selected as a permanent townsite in 1887. Named after one official's hometown in Pennsylvania, the land was part of the Roff Brothers' 700 Ranch. The Roffs were the first homeowners in Ardmore. A replica of the ranch house was moved from Fair Park to the Carter County Historical Museum. Ranching is still an important industry, along with oil drilling and refining and tire manufacturing.

NATIONAL PARKBuffalo National River Reached via US 65 or SRs 7, 14 or 21 in northwestern Arkansas, Buffalo National River stretches through the rugged Ozark Mountains. While the Buffalo River courses 150 miles through the Ozarks, only its lower 135 miles and adjacent land are designated a national river. To protect the natural beauty of this area, Congress declared it a national river in 1972, thereby preserving it from development and population encroachment.Buffalo National River

NATIONAL PARKKisatchie National Forest Kisatchie National Forest extends across the central and northern parts of the state. The terrain of Louisiana's only national forest, comprised of six districts and more than 600,000 acres, varies from swamps of hardwood and cypress trees draped with Spanish moss to sandstone hills covered with longleaf pine. Farming and lumbering in the early 1900s left much of this land unproductive, but most of the area revived after the forest's establishment in 1930.Kisatchie National Forest
