The Faulkner County Historical Society, a non-profit organization based in Conway, Arkansas, is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of Faulkner County and its surrounding communities. Through their efforts, they have successfully restored and reconstructed the Springfield-Des Arc Bridge, the oldest bridge in Arkansas and one of the oldest of its type in the United States, which now stands proudly at Conway's Beaverfork Park. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the bridge had fallen into disrepair but was saved from further deterioration by the collaborative efforts of the Faulkner County Historical Society and the City of Conway. The restoration project, documented by PBS's Ultimate Restorations, showcases the society's commitment to preserving the historical landmarks that contribute to the cultural heritage of the region.Generated from the website
