Jacksonport State Park
State Park Information
State Park Overview
Steamboats made Jacksonport a thriving river port in the 1800s. During the Civil War, the town was occupied by both Confederate and Union forces because of its crucial locale. Jacksonport became county seat in 1854 and
constuction of a stately, two-story brick courthouse began in 1869. The town began to decline in the 1880s when bypassed by the railroad. The county seat was moved in 1891 to nearby Newport and
Jacksonports stores, wharves and saloons soon vanished.
Today the parks museums, the 1872 courthouse and the nearby Mary Woods No. 2 sternwheel paddleboat and
interpretive programs share the story of this historic riverport.
