Augusta, AR

united states

Augusta, a small county seat in eastern Arkansas, sits along Highway 64 about 80 miles from Little Rock and 100 miles from Memphis. The town of 1,800 serves the surrounding rice-farming region in the White River delta. Most visitors arrive via Highway 64 or State Highway 33, which connects north to Searcy. The 1964 courthouse on the town square stands out for its unusual mid-century modern architecture among Arkansas's typically traditional county buildings.
