Arkansas native, Carol Ann Carson, has written for OnlyInYourState for three years now. She resides in Western Arkansas' Mountain Frontier but calls NWA home as well. The graduate of University of Arkansas - Fort Smith, Carol Ann earned her B.A. in English and will soon be pursing her M.A. in Library Science. She loves exploring the trails around the Buffalo National River and has yet to find a waterfall that wasn't her favorite.
The Buffalo National River is filled with exceptional Arkansas adventures, from the obvious paddle trips to the lesser known trails. No matter how you prefer to enjoy this area, there’s one particular place that is definitely worth the detour. Ferguson’s Country Store and Restaurant is a spectacular two-story stone cabin filled with Ozark craftsmanship and pioneer-inspired meals. Perhaps the best thing about Ferguson’s is their homemade dessert. Give yourself plenty of time to explore and eat at this historic store.
This massive establishment is Ferguson's Country Store and Restaurant.
Ferguson's is packed with gifts, quilts, souvenirs, clothing, and more. You can even upgrade your furniture with their oak or cherry wood dining sets that are handcrafted in the Ozark Mountains.

Exploring the store will definitely work up an appetite.
After you've perused both floors and found the perfect knick-knack, you can take a lunch break at their restaurant. Their home-cooked, southern classics will make your mouth water.
Their breakfast comes with everything an Arkansan could ever want. Homemade biscuits and thick country gravy, grits, and a slab of ham is the best meal to enjoy before hitting the Buffalo.
The best part of dining at Ferguson's is, without a doubt, the desserts.
Folks will travel miles to pick up a pan full of Ferguson's famed cinnamon rolls. The hot-from-the-oven sweets are drizzled with a simple sugar-based icing that will have you reaching for a tall glass of milk quicker than you can call "Pig Sooie."
The cinnamon rolls have a dedicated fan base, but that doesn't mean they're the only dessert worth trying at Ferguson's.
Stop by anytime Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
