Attractions
The small town of Doniphan is rich in American History. The town itself is truly like walking back in time to yester years gone by, but is still very much a part of today. Watch the checker games and horseshoe pitching at the courthouse built in 1899. Doniphan is a town where people know you by name, which is a stark contrast to the larger cities of today.
The Trial of Tears comes through Ripley County.
