Named after the nation’s 16th president, the small town of Lincoln, Arkansas, was established in 1907, getting its start as a thriving agricultural community with prospering apple orchards. Now evolving into a thriving place to live, work and play, Lincoln is introducing new homes and new families to the area as it keeps up with the times, and the older established homes and families show that, in Lincoln, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
Ranch-style and traditional homes are prevalent in Lincoln, displaying brick and vinyl façades. Spacious lots make for wide-open outdoor spaces for entertaining family and friends, and sprawling lawns are accented with flourishing trees and trimmed hedges. More expansive estates sit on giant acreage lots — of up to 70 acres — and newly built homes are also finding their place in Lincoln, coming in various styles and sizes and offering four and five bedrooms. Prices in the area range from the $100,000s to the $300,000s, with new builds starting in the $200,000s. Because of the vast amount of land, larger properties can reach nearly $900,000.
Served by Lincoln and Prairie Grove Consolidated School Districts, students can choose schools from either when mapping out their educational journeys. Prairie Grove Elementary through Grade 4, Prairie Grove Middle through Grade 6 and Prairie Grove Junior High School through Grade 8 will prepare them for studies at Prairie Grove High School, which has been recognized as an AP District of the Year awardee. All the schools have an overall Niche grade of B-plus.
U.S. Highway 62 runs east and west directly through Lincoln, giving residents access to other minor routes and surrounding areas. While there is no set public transportation system in the city, the Ozark Regional Transit does operate an on-demand service in response to emergencies.
Harps Food Stores is Lincoln’s go-to for groceries and everyday essentials. For a bite to eat, La Villa Mexican Restaurant serves authentic cuisine from south of the border that includes quesadillas, chimichangas and fajitas. The restaurant also has vegetarian options for those interested. At the All-American Drive-In, burgers, burritos, chili and other diner classics are on the menu.
Covering 400 acres — 90 being the lake itself — Lincoln Lake Park is an action-packed outdoor location that includes a little something for everyone. Lincoln Lake offers visitors the chance to do some boating and fishing, while the green space provides hike and bike trails and rock climbing for the more adventurous. Audubon aficionados can get some bird watching done, and the park has open WiFi available to all parkgoers. At South Park, little ones can enjoy the playground while ball players hit the basketball courts and anyone looking to get some steps in and take a stroll along the walking trails.
The Arkansas Apple Festival is held in Lincoln every October. It draws thousands to the area to commemorate the prominent apple-growing industry that was prevalent in the city’s earlier days. Attendees get to enjoy arts and crafts, crisp apples and warm apple cider during the event. Since 1953, the Lincoln Riding Club has hosted a three-day rodeo every summer, with categories including barrel racing, bull riding, calf roping and steer wrestling. The rodeo also crowns a queen at its pageant and hosts a street dance for attendees to let loose.
The semi-autobiographical film “Minari,” based on the childhood of director Lee Isaac Chung, is set in 1980s Lincoln. The city is also the home of the Arkansas Country Doctor Museum, which chronicles the history of rural American healthcare through collections of early 20th-century medical instruments and discussing standard practices of the time. The museum itself was once the town’s clinic and the home of three doctors who served the residents of Lincoln from 1936 to 1973.
