Trial by Jury

January 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. there will be a trial by jury at Historic Washington State Park.

Justice will be served and you are the jury. After enjoying an evening meal at Williams’ Tavern Restaurant, guests will proceed to the 1836 Courthouse. There they will take part in a living history drama where they judge the guilt or innocence of a man accused of murder. The drama is based upon an actual 1844 trial that took place in the same courtroom. Dress casual or wear your favorite 19th century costume.

Reservations are required. 870-983-2684.  Admission: $25 adults, $20 children under 14.

Historic Washington State Park, a restoration village preserving one of Arkansas’s most prominent 19th-Century towns, is located on US 278 nine miles north of Hope and can be reached by taking Exit 30 off Interstate 30.
