Questions

Common questions.

Why is Cushman called a mining town?

The richest deposits of the Batesville Manganese District are near Cushman. During World War I Italy sent 900 soldiers to mine ore here, and the mines closed after the government bought the last ton of ore on August 5, 1959.

What happened in Cushman in 2025?

A tornado outbreak on March 14, 2025 killed three people and destroyed twenty houses in Cushman. Many residents work in Batesville.

Why do crawlspaces matter in Arkansas houses?

EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil, and that soil moisture raises the humidity in the air above it. Arkansas summers are humid, so crawlspace moisture is a common thing buyers ask about. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
