About Damascus

Damascus sits right along Highway 65 on the border of Faulkner and Van Buren counties in the rolling hills of north-central Arkansas. First settled in the late 1800s, the town offers a quiet rural setting with plenty of open land and wooded scenery. It is an easy twenty-minute drive south to Conway for shopping, restaurants, and medical care, which makes Damascus an appealing choice for people who want peaceful country living near everyday conveniences.

History buffs might know the area for the 1980 Titan II missile silo incident north of town, but today it is a quiet, down-to-earth community. Life here revolves around local churches, school events, and neighbors who take time to know each other. Outdoor lovers also enjoy having Greers Ferry Lake and the Ozark foothills just a short drive away for fishing, boating, and hiking. If you are looking for affordable space and a slower pace, Damascus is a welcoming place to call home.
