About this property

The Old US 67 Rest Area is a historic roadside rest area in rural Clark County, Arkansas. It is located in on the west side of U.S. Route 67 (US 67) and an old paved section formerly designated Highway 51, between the small towns of Curtis and Gum Springs. The rest area consists of a semicircular fieldstone retaining wall, which is segmented by six fieldstone pillars. A semicircular concrete bench stands facing a fieldstone well. The rest area was built five years after US 67 was paved in 1931, by the National Youth Administration, a federal New Deal agency, and the state highway department. The rest area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
