Completed circa 1835, the Archibald Yell Law Office was transplanted to the grounds of the Headquarters House Museum of the Washington County Historical Society in 1992. The property originally served as the office of the first Congressman of Arkansas, Archibald Yell. A striking figure with a fascinating personal history, Yell also served as the 2nd Governor of the state. He also spent years serving as a soldier and a judge during the Territorial Days. More information about Yell may be obtained through the society?s Living History Program.

While at the area, visitors may also be interested in checking out other historical landmarks managed by the Washington County Historical Society. Besides the aforementioned Headquarters House Museum which was completed in 1853 for Judge Jonas Tebbetts, there?s also the 1839 Ridge House, which served as a safe haven for the widow and children of the assassinated Cherokee hero John Ridge.
