The Willmering Tourist Cabins Historic District encompasses a historic tourist accommodation on United States Route 65 in central northern Searcy County, Arkansas, just south of the Buffalo National River. Located behind the Silver Hill Float Service on the west side of the highway stand six stone and timber cabins, with large standstone blocks and plank doors on the fronts, and shed roofs obscured by parapets. Built in 1946 by Harry Willmering, these vernacular structures are representative of tourist accommodations built in the period after World War II to cater to the automobile-based vacationing public.[2]
The cabins were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
