Washburn, Arkansas

This is an unincorporated community located at the intersection of Arkansas State Highways 10 and 252 about halfway between Booneville and Greenwood in the west central part of the state. Its main claim to fame to most of us is that it is one of the few good straight stretches where you can pass slow-moving vehicles. However, it is an attractive little village in its own right. There is a store building at the intersection, but it has long since  gone out of business. Just west of the town Highway 10 goes over Washburn Mountain (actually just a ridge), which provides a beautiful view down into Washburn Valley, where fog often settles to give it an additional charm.
