The Powhatan Historic State Park is unique in that it preserves and protects no less than six historic buildings dating back to the 1880’s. The park is located on a hill overlooking the Black River, where the impressive 1888 courthouse proudly overlooked the steamboat traffic, about which you can learn in the Courthouse Museum. Other historic buildings in the park include the 1873 Jail house, a residential log house, a telephone exchange and a two-room school house. You are welcome to explore the park in your own time but joining a guided tour will be much more rewarding. The park is open from Tuesday to Sunday and entrance is free of charge.
