Marshall is the county seat. The Buffalo River, one of the last free-flowing rivers in mid-America, angles across the county with huge limestone bluffs surrounding the clear blue water of the stream. The Hurricane River Cave has been continuously occupied since ancient times and features a crystal clear underground river flowing its entire length.
