Step into the deep-roots history of South Arkansas at the Newton House Museum, a beautifully preserved Greek Revival home dating to the mid-1800s and the oldest public house museum in El Dorado. With period-appointed furnishings and guided tours down its grand central hall, the Newton House invites visitors to walk through time — explore the legacy of early settlement, antebellum architecture, and the evolution of the region’s culture. Nestled just off Jackson Avenue, the museum is both an elegant venue for special events and a meaningful stop for travelers seeking an authentic connection to the past.
