On Saturday, the Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society will conclude their year long celebration of Baxter County’s Sesquicentennial. On March 24, 1873, Baxter County was formed from Fulton, Izard, Marion and Searcy counties. The county was named in honor of the Governor of Arkansas at that time, Elisha Baxter, and formed as the 68th county in Arkansas, just prior to the Brooks-Baxter War.

According to Baker, Baker Street and surrounding streets in the square will be blocked off so visitors will be able to experience a variety of booths and activities from crafters, a kid zone with games, live music, a blacksmith, chainsaw art, woodcarvers and pioneer reenacters which will allow visitors to meet former Baxter County residents in a fun way.
