Section::::Notable people.
BULLET::::- George Caleb Bingham - Missouri's most famous artist, Bingham's family moved to a farm outside of Arrow Rock in 1827. In 1837, Bingham built a brick home in Arrow Rock that is now a National Historic Landmark. Bingham traveled widely, painting hundreds of portraits of prominent citizens, but is most famous for his genre scenes of frontier and river life painted in the 1840s and 1850s. Bingham held positions in Arrow Rock town government and in state government. He retained his home until 1857, when he went abroad to study art in Paris and Düsseldorf. From 1860 on, he lived in Independence, then Kansas City, but continued to visit Arrow Rock relatives to the time of his death.
BULLET::::- Claiborne Fox Jackson - Owned stores and warehouses in New Franklin and Arrow Rock by 1831 and was appointed Arrow Rock's first postmaster in 1832. He married three Sappington daughters, Jane, Louisa and Eliza in succession. Jackson aided pro-slavery forces in Bleeding Kansas during the 1850s. Elected governor in 1860, Jackson supported Missouri's secession from the Union in 1861. Forced to flee the state by Union forces, he formed a “government-in-exile”, first in Neosho, Missouri, then in Marshall, Texas.
BULLET::::- Meredith Miles Marmaduke - became a Santa Fe trader from 1824 to 1830. He married Lavinia Sappington and settled near Arrow Rock. Marmaduke platted the town of Arrow Rock in 1829 and the county seat of Marshall in 1839. Elected Lt. Governor in 1840, he served as Missouri's eighth governor upon the death of Governor Thomas Reynolds in 1844. Marmaduke was one of the few pro-Union men in Saline County during the Civil War.
BULLET::::- John Sappington Marmaduke, the son of Meredith Marmaduke, was born in Arrow Rock and is Dr. Sappington's grandson. He graduated from West Point in 1857 and served in the Second U.S. Cavalry under Col. Albert Sidney Johnston. When the Civil War broke out, he resigned his commission and enlisted in the Missouri State Guard. After their disastrous defeat at the * Battle of Boonville, Marmaduke enlisted in the regular Confederate Army. He rose to the rank of Major-General and became Governor of Missouri. in 1884 but died in office.
BULLET::::- Asa Finley - settled west of Arrow Rock in 1818. In 1822 and 1826, he was elected State Representative from Saline County. In 1824, he became the first judge of Arrow Rock Township. Finley was a close friend and confidant of Dr. Sappington.
BULLET::::- John Beauchamp Jones - tended a store in Arrow Rock from 1834 to 1839. In 1840, Jones became the joint proprietor and editor of the "Baltimore Sunday Visiter." Late in 1841, Jones became the editor and publisher of the party organ of President John Tyler's administration, the "Daily Madisonian," continuing publication after the end of Tyler's presidency in 1845, until the paper went bankrupt later that year. Over the next several years, Jones wrote several popular books including Wild Western Scenes (1841) and The Western Merchant (1849) based on his experiences in Arrow Rock. In 1857, Jones established the "Southern Monitor," a Southern-leaning weekly newspaper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to be "a Southern Organ in the North." During the Civil War, Jones was the chief clerk in the passport section of the Confederate War Office in Richmond, Virginia. After the war, he edited his war diary for publication, but died before publication. The diary was subsequently published as "A Rebel War Clerk's Diary at the Confederate States Capital." The diary provides the only continuous narrative of the inside workings of the Confederate government from the time it was established in Richmond through the end of the war and is considered a major primary source by many historians.
BULLET::::- William Becknell - dubbed the “Father of the Santa Fe Trail”, served as a Missouri Ranger during the War of 1812 and for several years afterwards, managed the Boone's Lick salt works in adjacent Howard County. In Franklin, he organized the first successful trade expedition to Santa Fe in 1821 and in 1822, was the first to use wagons on the trail. Afterwards, Becknell operated the Arrow Rock ferry, became a Saline County judge and served as state representative for Saline County before moving to Texas in 1838.

Section::::History.
Arrow Rock was the name from a prominent flint-bearing bluff on the Missouri River. The name first appeared on a French map from 1732 as “Pierre a Fleche” meaning “Rock of Arrows.” Arrow Rock is so named from its having been formerly resorted to by neighboring Indians for the stone used to point their arrows. The two dominant tribes in the area met by French traders in the early 18th century were the Missouria and the Osage.
The bluff continued to be landmark to explorers and travelers for over 150 years. Lewis and Clark passed by on June 9, 1804 and noted “Several small Channels running out of the River below a Bluff [Cliff of rocks called the arrow rock ] & Prairie (Called the Prairie of Arrows)” In 1808, William Clark passed through the area again on his way to construct Fort Osage noting a “Big Arrow Rock” and a“Little Arrow Rock” just upstream from it. He declared the area would “make a handsome spot for a town.”
During the first half of the 19th century, this region of central Missouri was called "Boonslick Country" so named for the Boone's salt lick four miles east of Arrow Rock in adjacent Howard County. The term "lick" derived from wildlife licking salt from the ground around the briny springs. Nathan and Daniel Morgan Boone sons of famed frontiersman Daniel Boone manufactured salt here from 1805-1812, shipping it to St. Louis. Salt boiling continued intermittently until the 1850s. The site of this early frontier industry is now managed as Boone's Lick State Historic Site by the Missouri Division of State Parks.
European-American settlers arrived in 1810 establishing small settlements several miles to the north and to the south of the Arrow Rock bluff and in the river bottoms on the opposite side of the Missouri River. During the War of 1812, the settlers built defensive forts as protection from Ioway, Sac & Fox Indians allied to Great Britain. When Fort Osage closed in 1812, the fort's trader George C. Sibley moved his operation to the Arrow Rock bluff during the winter of 1813 -1814 to carry on trade with the friendly Osage Indians.
By 1815, a ferry was established at the site of Arrow Rock. Westbound settlers poured into the area, crossing the Missouri River on the Arrow Rock ferry. Santa Fe trading caravans departing from Franklin began crossing at the ferry in 1821. From 1819 to 1833, the ferry was owned by Judge David Todd, the uncle of Mary Todd Lincoln. Judge William B. Napton noted that 1827 was especially busy year for the ferry as the population of Saline County swelled that year. In 1849 and 1850 the covered wagons of emigrants to California "were hardly ever out of sight at Arrow Rock." Several Arrow Rock residents continued to be involved in the Santa Fe trade as late as the beginning of the Civil War.
The town was founded in June 1829 and originally called “Philadelphia.” Some documents refer to it as “New Philadelphia.” However, in 1833 the state legislature changed the name because the locale was better known as ‘Arrow Rock’. Joseph Huston, one of the town commissioners built a two-story brick building in 1834. Due to Arrow Rock's location on the Missouri River and along the Santa Fe Trail travelers undoubtedly asked Huston for overnight accommodations. He began building additions to the building and by 1840 was widely known as a hotel-keeper. The J. Huston Tavern also housed a store and a ballroom used for dances and a meeting hall. As the building passed to other owners, it became known as the Neill House, Scripture House, City Hotel and Old Tavern. The J. Huston Tavern is the oldest continuously operating restaurant west of the Mississippi and is today operated by the Missouri Division of State Parks.
Settlers in the Arrow Rock area were predominantly migrants from the Upper South of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. They brought slaves and southern culture with them. The town developed as a thriving river port, exporting tobacco and hemp from plantations in the region. Hemp was made into ropes and bags for baling cotton. Wheat, corn, beef, pork and mules were also shipped from Arrow Rock to supply the cotton districts of the Mississippi delta. The agricultural production of the Boonslick Country depended on slave labor just as cotton production did in the South. This symbiotic relationship led most residents of Arrow Rock and the Boonslick Country to support the South during the Civil War. Saline County and other Missouri counties with a high population of enslaved African Americans later became identified as “Little Dixie.” According to historian Dr. Christopher Phillips, Arrow Rock represented a unique blending of western frontier idealism and southern traditions.
Arrow Rock's population peaked at 1,000 by 1860. The town population began declining after the American Civil War. There were no major battles in the area, but guerrilla raids disrupted agricultural production and river commerce. Union militia enforced martial law on the town for most the war. The population declined after the war and railroads began supplanting steamboats. Arrow Rock failed in its bids to secure a rail line and a bridge across the Missouri River. The rapid post war growth of urban areas such as Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago began drawing away residents with the promise of better jobs. The town was swept by disastrous fires in 1864, 1872 and 1901. By the turn of the century the population had declined to around 300.
Prior to the Civil War, Arrow Rock's black residents worked as household or domestic slaves or as laborers at the docks and business warehouses. Many were skilled tradesmen who were rented out by their masters to contractors. Much of the town's infrastructure such as the massive stone gutters lining Main Street, were built by enslaved African-Americans. Following emancipation in 1865, Arrow Rock's African-American population grew as former plantation slaves moved into town. Gradually they were able to purchase their own homes, mostly on the north side of town. By 1880, 51% of the town's population was African-American. Owing to segregation, they had to develop their own churches, schools and social institutions. The last black resident of the community died in 2009.
Arrow Rock's connection with the Santa Fe Trail led to national recognition by the Old Trails Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in 1912. As DAR interest in the community grew, they persuaded the Missouri legislature to purchase and preserve the Old Tavern (J. Huston Tavern) in 1923. Acreage around the Tavern was purchased as a state park. This was the beginning of the historic preservation movement in Missouri and one of the first units of the new Missouri State Park system. The park grew to 169 acres about a third of which lies within town boundaries. In 1976 the facilities designation was changed from park to historic site to better reflect its cultural mission.
The Friends of Arrow Rock, Inc. formed in 1959 to help preserve historic structures outside the state historic site boundary. They give guided tram tours of town from April though October and work closely with Arrow Rock State Historic in conducting education and interpretive programs about the village.

Section::::Odd and interesting town ordinances.
December 23, 1847 Article 6 of Laws for Conducting Town Meetings; "It shall be the duty of all members of said Board of Trustees to be present at every meeting, and for failing so to do, shall forfeit and pay the sum of fifty cents, unless excused from said fine, upon a reasonable cause given for said absentee absence."
September 6, 1858 the Town Board ordained "...that any person guilty of firing or setting off fire works, fire crackers or throwing turpentine [lighting then throwing it in the air] and gass balls [explosive carbide] ...shall on conviction be fined not less than one or more than five dollars for each offense."
March 10, 1868, the Town Board taxed all billiard tables at $10.00 per year, to be paid in advance. The board even felt their authority extended beyond the corporation limits. Billiard tables within one half mile of town, if any, were to be taxed as well.
June 2, 1871, the Town Board acting on a complaint from Mr. L. D. Lindsey ordered the Constable to suppress the game of croquet because the players "frequently indulge in profane and obscene language." The Board has never rescinded the order so modern day residents periodically will get up a game of "outlaw croquet" in town.
April 8, 1872, the Town Board “Ordered that the privy in rear of Levy Bros. Store be declared a nuisance, also D.D. Greens’ Cow-yard.”

Section::::Archaeology.
Archaeologist Dr. Timothy E. Baumann McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of East Tennessee began conducting surveys in 1995 to explore African-American life and culture from the slavery period through emancipation and into the early 20th century. He has led teams in excavating several households, a schoolhouse, a church, and a Masonic Lodge that were part of Arrow Rock's African-American community. Dr. Baumann confirmed that the Masonic Lodge had been built over the site of the Caldwell Pottery Works, the third largest pottery works in Missouri during the 1850s and 1860s. Remains of a beehive kiln, outbuildings and thousands of shards of pottery and testing clay were uncovered. He continues as a museum consultant for Friends of Arrow Rock, Inc. He has also excavated slave quarters at two neighboring plantation sites, Prairie Park and Oak Grove.
Several excavations have been carried out on state historic site property. Archaeologists from the University of Missouri have conducted several surveys and excavations on the grounds identifying the remains of a 19th-century mercantile store, the town's first public school and a livery stable. Larry Grantham and Brant Vollmann former archaeologists with the Missouri Division of State Parks have conducted limited excavations of a small 19th century store and the grounds around the Dr. Mathew W. Hall House and the J. Huston Tavern. No evidence of a permanent Native American village has been located at Arrow Rock. However ample evidence clearly indicates the area had been a major manufacturing site for flint points dating back at least 10,000 years.

Section::::Arts.
Arrow Rock's tradition in the arts has its roots in the residency of George Caleb Bingham. He began painting portraits of local residents in 1833. His earliest extant portraits are those of Dr. John Sappington and Jane B. Sappington done in 1834. These two portraits along with an 1875 portrait of James M. Piper, several original lithographic prints and Bingham family memorabilia are on display at the Arrow Rock State Historic Site Visitors’ Center Museum.
Jane Froman (1907–1980) was a popular singer and actress during the 1930s through 1950s. She had her own television show in the 1950s and was known for her charitable work with sick children. A native Missourian, she retired to Columbia Missouri. From 1969 through 1972 she did charitable work for a music camp to help children develop musical abilities. Established in the Old Schoolhouse, it was named as the Jane Froman Music Center. The center attracted nationally known artists to Arrow Rock for summer concerts and she performed Christmas concerts there. Although the music center closed in 1972, it gave impetus to development of other artistic venues in town.
The Arrow Rock Lyceum Theater was established in 1960 in the abandoned Baptist Church. Missouri's oldest repertory theater, the Lyceum now produces Broadway caliber musicals and plays from June through September with special holiday productions in December. Actors come from as far away as New York and audiences are drawn from across Missouri. A 408-seat auditorium was added in 1995 and the church building itself now serves as the box office/concession area.
In 1973, a musical version of Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" was filmed here. The movie, "Tom Sawyer", starred Johnny Whitaker as Tom, Jeff East as Huckleberry Finn, Celeste Holm as Aunt Polly, Warren Oates as Muff Potter and Jodie Foster in her third movie role, as Becky Thatcher. Many of the town's buildings and landscapes are recognizable in the film. The following year, Jeff East reprised his role in "Huckleberry Finn" which was partially filmed here. Paul Winfield co-starred as Jim and comedian Harvey Korman as The King.
In addition to being the home of the Lyceum Theatre, Arrow Rock continues its tradition of supporting the arts by periodically hosting art and crafts shows and workshops and special concerts throughout the year.

Section::::Parks and public lands.
Established in 1923, Arrow Rock State Historic Site is administered by the Missouri Division of State Parks. It was one of the first three units to come into the Missouri state park system. The 169 acre site overlooks the Missouri valley and encompasses about one-fourth of the village. The site contains a large visitor center/museum complex, four acre fishing lake, picnic area with a playground, 1 ½ miles of hiking trails and a 48 unit campground with modern amenities.
The historic site is adjacent to the 1,871 acre Jameson Island Unit of the Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge, administered by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. Established in 1994 the wetlands and waterways of the refuge provides critical habitat for endangered species such as pallid and lake sturgeon. The refuge has minimal development and offers opportunities for hiking and bird watching. Hunting and fishing are also permitted in accordance with state regulations.

Section::::History.
Gorin was founded in 1857 and is named for Reverend M.G. Gorin and Major J.H.M. Gorin, both early settlers to the area. The town primarily owes its growth to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, which was finishing construction in the area in the 1880s. A depot was built in the fledgling town, which began to experience steady growth. By 1913 it had grown to be Scotland County's second-largest town. The business community featured two banks, two hotels, multiple grocery drug, and hardware stores along with restaurants, a farm implement dealer and factory manufacturing wagons and buggies. A weekly newspaper, the "Gorin Argus" was also published for several years. The Prairie Oil & Gas Company, a division of Standard Oil, built a pumping station for their cross-country pipeline also. A new school building was built in Gorin in 1907 for elementary through tenth grade students and continued in use for many decades before consolidation with the Scotland County R-1 school district.
