House in Norfork, a National Register of Historic Places site since 1973. Jacob Wolf was a merchant, builder, carpen- ter, blacksmith, who was elected as a representative to the General Assembly of Arkansas Territory in 1826.

It is the oldest U.S.-built courthouse west of the Mississippi. In March of 2017, the Department of


Arkansas Heritage acquired the site from the Baxter County Quorum Court and is working on site improvements. Once complete, the Wolf House will offer comprehensive interpretive themes between 1829-1863 tied to the historic site, among other things. It is open to the public weekdays
