Spirit of 2026

2026 is a big year for our country and the Searcy County area!

It's the 250th birthday of the United States of America and the 100th birthday of US Highway 65, which runs right through Marshall, Arkansas and Searcy County. We think the Searcy County, Arkansas stretch is a "Must See" when you cruise US Highway 65 for 966 miles from Clayton, Louisiana to Minnesota, or vice versa! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_65

We will be celebrating 2026 throughout that year with fun events and historical activities to commemorate these important birthdays. Stay tuned for more info to come! 

Searcy County is the ONLY rural county in Arkansas that had net positive migration for both the 2010-2019 and 2020-2021 time frames, according to Communities Unlimited! Meaning more people moved into Searcy County during those time periods than moved out! Come find out why people want to live in Searcy County!
