HISTORICAL
DOWNTOWN SQUARE
A large portion of downtown Neosho is listed as a historic district
in the National Register of Historic Places, including the Second
Baptist Church, built in the Victorian Gothic style of 1896. Neosho's
history is well-documented with historical markers, making a local
heritage tour a simple matter.
Other historical stops to make include viewing a five-panel mural
on the main floor of the Newton County Courthouse. The mural is a
chronological history of the county. Many people who see the mural
return with children or grandchildren to search for the many animals
hidden in the mural. Other interesting and historical murals include
the Centennial Mural in the Municipal Auditorium, and the Skaggs Tile
Mural on the Mills Park Centre Building in Big Spring Park.
