Walker Homestead Historic District

The Walker Homestead Historic District encompasses a collection of related agricultural and homesteading properties in rural White County, Arkansas. Located on Gum Spring Road about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Arkansas Highway 267 southwest of Searcy, the district includes two farmstead houses, a barn, tenant housing, cotton gin, and other features. The oldest portion of the oldest house is a single pen log structure built about 1850 by William Walker, one of the area's early settlers, while the other house is a c. 1900 vernacular Greek Revival structure built by Billy Walker, Sr. The district encapsulates a typical evolutionary history of rural properties in the region, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
