Welcome to Dickson Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas
The 5th best place to live in the country might surprise you. In fact, you might not have heard of Fayetteville, AR, but you’ll be glad you have now. Despite being the 3rd largest city in Arkansas, its 83,000 residents mean it doesn't feel huge and can maintain a quirky vibe.
Dickson Street is the main vein of the city, where you’ll find unique spots—like Dickson Street Bookshop, with a rare book collection dating back 300 years. Craft brew, artisan coffee, and live music are all part of the city’s pulse. And they’ve just become one of only a few dozen cities in the nation (and the first in the state) to pass a 100% renewable energy pledge. Fayetteville is set to have 100% community-wide clean energy by 2050. Hoorah!

Quick Getaway to Fayetteville, Arkansas | March 2019
Get $40 off your first AirBNB stay : airbnb.com/c/avehige
Y’all! I am forever feeling blessed by friends who love adventure just as much as I do. Just last week, as we were walking out of bible study, Liz and I were chatting about wanting to go on a road-trip soon. Within the hour, we had a weekend picked and a destination. Typical. ;)
I had been hearing that Fayetteville was amazing from a few of my friends, so I figured we should give it a shot. Liz sums it up really well in the vid when she called it “half ridiculously hipster and half wilderness.”
We only stayed for one night, but we packed in as much as we could. Fitting for the town, there is a healthy mix of hikes and coffee shops in these recs. ;)
Dickson Street
We had the most fun in the city when we were exploring Dickson street. There are tons of fun restaurants, shops, murals and places to grab drinks. (Coffee or beer, you decide ;)) While you are on Dickson street you have to check out the Dickson Street Bookstore. I am not even a huge reader, y’all, but this place is so cool. Books and books and books and books. Around every corner, from floor to ceiling, this place is packed to the rafters with books…
Tip: If you are traveling on the weekend, plan to do Dickson street on Saturday and hikes on Sunday. It’s the south, so most places are closed on Sunday’s.
Coffee Shops
My good ole pal, Jessica, made the suggestion for Fayetteville in the first place, because she had a wedding there last fall and loved it! She suggested that we go to Onyx Coffee and it did not disappoint. I am definitely not hipster enough to judge a cup of coffee, but this stuff was GOOD, y’all. Not to mention the atmosphere — It had such a cute setup and rad barista! We just stopped in for a cup, but If I was traveling here for a while, I would totally post up here for a work day.
The only other coffee shop we checked out was Puritan Coffee. Talk about a rad place. Coffee and beer and a huge space to work, chat, play trivia on Thursday nights. It’s the place to be y’all. (This one is on Dickson street.)
Hikes
If you didn’t know it, Northern Arkansas is an insanely beautiful area. My dad has been saying it for years, but I never paid much attention and let me tell ya, I should’ve. I told him when I get home that next time I get the inclination to travel to Colorado for a week, I am going to go to Arkansas instead and explore!
During the short time we were there, we went on 2 hikes: Yellowrock Overlook at Devil’s Den State Park and Whittaker Point in Ponca.
Devils Den State Park was only about 30 minutes from Fayetteville and was super awesome. There are plenty of trails that you can hike, creeks, waterfalls — it’s gorgeous. We told the park ranger we wanted to see an overlook and he pointed us towards Yellowrock. It was a short easy hike that didn’t disappoint. I mean, look…
Beautiful always, but imagine that in the fall, y’all! I promised myself that as soon as leaves start turning, I am going back!
Planning was minimal for this trip, but the one thing we did look up was Whittaker Point. A few friends of ours have been before so we knew it was beautiful. To get to the trailhead you have to go up a steep, curvy gravel road. We did it in a chevy Malibu, so it’s doable without 4 wheel drive, but look for potholes and drive slow. The hike itself is fairly short, but rewarding. The overlook is not far and so beautiful! If you are a St. Louisan, you should do this hike on your way home from Fayetteville.
On the drive home, in Ponca, we saw a heard of elk! As a kid of a former elk farmer, seeing elk is always special, especially so close to home. If you go, make sure you look for them!
I came home with a huge desire to go back. Soon. Basically as soon as stuff starts greening up, I am hoping to get back down there. My dad tells me the tallest waterfall in the midwest is in Ponca, Arkansas?? Yeah. Count me in.

SUMMARY
=======
The University of Arkansas Campus Historic District is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 23, 2009. The district covers the historic core of the University of Arkansas campus, including 25 buildings.The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on September 23, 2009 and the listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of October 2, 2009. The Inn at Carnall Hall is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.The historical core of campus was built in many phases, coincident with when funding was available to build. Beginning with the construction of Old Main in 1879, buildings were built haphazardly around campus. This was changed when the architecture firm Jamieson & Spearl designed the 1925 master plan, which includes many of the Collegiate Gothic style buildings (such as the Agriculture Building). The plan allowed for more structure and a better layout. However, funding ran dry and the master plan came to a halt. Building resumed following many Public Works Administration grants after World War II.
Another interesting feature of the campus is Campus Walk. Formerly a through street, Campus Drive was converted to a footpath that runs from Maple Street on the north, through the Pi Beta Phi Memorial Gate, and follows the street's path across the campus core and through the Bell Engineering Center to the street's former intersection with Dickson Street.
