Think You Know Buffalo City – Historical Society Program Reveals Its Hidden Past

The Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society will hold its next monthly meeting on Tuesday at 6 in the Knox Room of the Donald W. Reynolds Library serving Baxter County in Mountain Home.

This month’s program will feature Jason Harmon, who will present “Buffalo City: A River Town Through Time.” Sonny Sharp with the Society says he doesn’t think they’ve had a more interesting program this year.

A small sign along westbound Highway 62/412 points the way to Buffalo City, a quiet, scenic spot on the White River where tourists come to fish, float, and retire. But as Harmon will explain, the community’s story reaches far deeper spanning nearly 200 years. He explains how this specific city actually became a landing point for travelers coming to this area of the Ozarks.
