Winslow
Winslow, Arkansas
Half-day stop on the way to or from Fayetteville: see the museum, hike at Devils Den, then move on. One night if you want a cabin in the woods.
Winslow is a tiny Ozarks town (pop. ~400) on US-71, best known as the gateway to Devils Den State Park. The town itself has a small museum and a farmers market on Saturday mornings. Most visitors pass through in under an hour, or stay one night at a cabin near the park.
