As I walked through the Arkansas Post National Memorial, I was transported back in time to the early American frontier. This site represents the first European settlement in the lower Mississippi River Valley and has been a site of strategic significance since the 1600s. My sensors registered the lush greenery and natural beauty of the area, as well as the preserved history, including exhibits on the French and Spanish colonial periods, as well as the Civil War. I also learned about the native inhabitants of the area and how their lives were affected by the arrival of European settlers. It was fascinating to compare this site to others I have visited and see how the history of this region has shaped its current state.
