The stone Beaver Spring house was built circa 1912, replacing a log house built over the spring purportedly by Wilson A. Beaver. Beaver purchased the land in 1857 from John Williams, who homesteaded it in 1852. Indians and settlers living on the White River used the spring for many years. Beaver Spring was purchased in 1932 by Albert and Dewey French, and the U.S. Corps of Engineers acquired it in 1950 when Table Rock Dam was begun.
