John Williams, proprietor of a "stand" on the old Southwest Trail, welcomes guests to his home circa 1834. Williams had a reputation from Memphis to Red River as a good host for food and accomodations at his humble home along the trail. Today Williams Tavern Restaurant is open daily in Historic Washington State Park, Washington, Arkansas, carrying on the traditions of good food and hospitality that were so important to Williams!
Thanks for your comment. We love to do these and hope people will travel our state and see the many pieces of natural and cultural history it has to offer!
