If you're leaving Arkansas on the northwest side then you should take a quick stop in Sulphur Springs. On the very edge of AR-43 resides a marker where three states meet. It's great snapshot to take before you leave Arkansas.
The marker is one of the few places in the nation where three states converge.

There's only 65 spots like this in the entire U.S. If you curious about the location of the others then head tothis site.
Although it looks like a single structure, the marker is made up of multiple monuments.

The stacked layers cover history from 1821 to 1960! The Ozark Culture Club erected the large marble portion of the marker in 1915 that designates when each area became a state. The bottom circle was created by the Lions Club in the 1960s. It features the dividing state lines and their image.
Part of the marker is actually older than Arkansas.

The smaller weathered stone on top is from 1821, when Missouri became a state. Although it's not official, the small marker is thought to signify part of the Missouri Comprise. One of the stipulations of Missouri's admittance to the Union was that any state north of it's southwestern boarder would be a free state.
This little roadside attraction is a quick and interesting bit of history in Arkansas (as well as Missouri and Oklahoma).
