Lewisburg, Arkansas 

This is a sketch of Lewisburg in 1852 by Susan Gordan from the Petit Jean County Herald.

Lewisburg was a small town the Arkansas River. When the town decided not to pay for the railroad to go through it started to decline. Now it has been absorbed into the town the railroad did through, Morrilton, Arkansas.
