Welcome to the Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society web site.  We invite you to take a look around our site and find out more about our Organization and the history of Baxter County.

The above photo is of the south side of the courthouse square in Mountain Home and was taken by local photographer John I. Barron in 1943.  In addition to the period automobiles, it is interesting to note that nearly all the parking spaces are occupied -- probably taken on a Saturday.

The above photo was taken c. 1900 of the south side of the courthouse square in Mountain Home.  Copies of this sepia-toned print are now available for purchase through the Historical Society.  The 12 x 18 print is $10.00.  The 16 x 24 print is $15.00.  Contact the Archives at 425-2551 to purchase a copy of this print.  It would make a wonderful gift for the history lover in your family.
