About Arkadelphia
Arkadelphia is in the Ouachitas of Arkansas. Compared to its surroundings, it has somewhat of an erudite feel, given that it has not one but two colleges — Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University. Nonetheless, it still retains a bit of provincial flavor and charm.
