A rural community on the Oklahoma-Arkansas border
Although named Dutch Mills, this Northwest Arkansas community on the border of Oklahoma was actually once a small town formed by German immigrants in the 1850s. The community has a fraught early history. Originally named Hermannsburg, the townspeople were forced to flee by Southern bushwhackers during the Civil War. The settlers never returned, and the area was later renamed. Today, Dutch Mills is an unincorporated rural hamlet with thick forests, established farmlands and country lanes. According to Stacey McSpadden, the owner of SoHo NWA brokered by exp Realty, the region has many properties passed down through generations. "The area is very rural. There are chicken houses and a lot of cattle on mostly old farms," McSpadden says. The community is about 8 miles southwest of Lincoln, the closest place for groceries and dining.

With 2,500 acres of open space, the park is well-known for its rugged hiking and biking trails as well as its campsites and cabins.
