Dreaming of waking up to the beauty of the Ozarks?
How about a quiet day of antiquing - searching for that perfect treasure. But wait, don't book that hotel yet - did you know that there are a host of Arkansas timeshares available for you to rent? You'll find that most timeshare rentals available for about the same price as a hotel room, what's more - you'll enjoy more room, more luxury, and more services at a resort located steps away from everything the gorgeous Ozarks have to offer.

Independence County was created in 1820, from Lawrence County. Originally, it covered all or parts of 12 present counties. Batesville, originally called Poke Bayou, has always served as the county seat. White River commerce and the Old Southwest Trail helped make Batesville an early trade center.
Attractions include two historic districts (homes from the 1840s), Old Independence Regional Museum (historic treasures and archives from a 12-county region), Mark Martin NASCAR Museum, Batesville Speedway (modern dirt track where Mark Martin started his racing career), 
Main Street (vintage downtown with antique shops, restaurants and niche shopping), golf courses, river activities, walking trails, family parks and two college campuses.
