Harrison Glass

On May 7, 1961, Harrison, Arkansas experienced one of the worst natural disasters in its history. After torrential overnight rains dumped more than 11 inches of water across Boone County, Crooked Creek overflowed and rushed through downtown Harrison before sunrise. Homes and businesses were destroyed, streets turned into rivers, and much of the town was left underwater. Despite the devastation, the people of Harrison came together to rebuild stronger than before. 65 years later, the flood remains a powerful reminder of both the force of nature and the resilience of our community. Here is a picture of our location then and today.
