Historical Significance
History Abounds in this River Town

Gracing Main Street for well over a hundred years, the beautifully-restored King Opera House sets the stage with its vibrant theatrical offerings and whispers the presence of a once earnest and intrepid actor, now haunting the backstage and still looking for work.


Van Buren’s Public Square presents its Italian-inspired county courthouse and rugged one-room school house in the midst of a gracefully landscaped garden setting.
