About Damascus
Damascus is a small town straddling the Faulkner–Van Buren county line (population 382 at the 2020 census, per Wikipedia), incorporated July 15, 1966. It sits on a plateau in the Ozark foothills along U.S. Highway 65, surrounded by clear streams. The town is best known for its proximity to the Titan II missile base that operated from 1963 to 1980 — the 1980 missile explosion killed one person and injured 21 (per Wikipedia) — and for its cluster of historic churches, including a Church of Christ built in 1917 and a Methodist church built in 1947.
