Why Harrisburg homes need a local read
Harrisburg, the Poinsett County seat since 1856, sits on Crowley's Ridge.
Housing: Little of the original town is left; the courthouse burned in 1887 and a tornado on April 8, 2020, damaged about thirty homes.
Around town: The Poinsett County Courthouse (1918), the Harris family home on Jackson Street, Lawrence Reddmann Memorial Park, and Lake Poinsett State Park just south of the city.
Setting: Harrisburg sits on Crowley's Ridge at about 276 feet; ridges, streams, swamps and timber once made the area remote.
Water, flooding and moisture in Harrisburg
Flood history: Torrential rains have flooded the town; homes along Highway 1 were demolished and a drainage ditch and park built, and floods and other disasters hit hard in the late 1920s and 1930s.
EPA's Map of Radon Zones places Poinsett County in Zone 3 (predicted average indoor levels below 2 pCi/L). EPA notes that homes vary within any zone, so the map does not predict a single house.
