​Arkansas Post National Park and Museum

and is just a few miles past Gillett, roughly a 15 minute drive. The Arkansas Post Museum features exhibits and buildings from the time of the first settlements on the Arkansas River. The Arkansas Post National Park has a fabulous museum and visitors can walk the grounds to see where the first settlers west of the Mississippi had a thriving port and trade with the Quapaw Indians of the region.

​

Gillett is host to the annual Gillett Coon Supper,

which has been one of the most acknowledged, anticipated, and attended wild game dinners anywhere around.  The Annual Coon Supper is a veritable "rite of passage" for politicians and it's proceeds benefit local scholarships for graduating seniors.  It is sponsored by the Gillett Farmers and Businessmen's Club and has been held the second week of January every year for over 78 years.

​Merrisach Lake Camp Grounds and  Notrebes Bend Wilbur D. Mills Camping Grounds  are beautiful and worth a drive down to the Lock and Dam #2.  Merrisach Camping Grounds houses the Wilbur D. Mills Pool and a Day Park perfect for picnics.

In Downtown DeWitt, the heart of our town is a picturesque town square that houses restaurants, several boutiques, hair stylists, a florist, shops, a coffee shop, and a flea market.  DeWitt has many lovely businesses off the square as well such as a tea shop, another excellent flea market, hair stylists, and businesses that have wonderful trinkets,

clothing, and decor items. For many years, the citizens of DeWitt have worked to revitalize our downtown and showcase all that DeWitt has to offer both historically and currently!
