Historical Roots: Founded in the early 19th century, Powhatan was a vital river port on the Black River, and it played a crucial role in the region's commerce and development. The park houses the beautifully preserved historic courthouse, which stands as a symbol of the town's former glory. 

Living History: Wander through the park, and you'll come across a meticulously reconstructed log cabin, giving you a taste of what life was like in the 1800s. It's like stepping back in time to experience the daily routines and challenges of early settlers. 

Natural Beauty: Beyond its historical significance, the park is a haven for nature enthusiasts. You can bask in the serene ambiance of the Black River or enjoy a tranquil picnic amidst the picturesque surroundings.
