This free museum was great, but do yourself a favor and splurge the three bucks for the guided tour. I didn't take photos because museums are weird about that, but the tour was great, the buildings and grounds were cool, and I loved the Native American and Bowie knife/Arkansas dagger exhibits.

Cute Museum with free exhibits! There are a few exhibits/events that you can pay for but the free ones were still worth it! I specifically enjoyed the Native American and Knife exhibits! Friendly staff, cute little store attached as well.

Knife room is awesome and the exhibit on the Native Americans of the region is amazing. Free galleries and a tour that is worth the small cost. For the outside houses.

The museum was doing some changes on some their exhibits but, what was fully up and running were very nice. The gift shop had nice things to choose from and the gentleman running it was very knowledgeable about the merchandise and the artists that created them. Our favorite part was the outdoor guided tour. The guide was extremely informed on what he was presenting. And very friendly, he even answered all my 101 questions! 😊

We saw galleries only which were free. The senior price for touring houses was $1.50, but we did not have enough time. They were excellent. Be sure to see the Native American one. There is also an introductory film.

Such an awesome place. You can do your own tour which is free or you can pay for a tour which is pretty cheap but make sure you're there on the hour cuz they do tours every hour on the hour I got there like 5 minutes after 3:00 and missed it so it was okay I just walked around it was nice. And certain days you would have to ask they have people dress up in the old timey clothes and have those old houses open talking about the history. They have an Indian museum a little place for children to play and a few other cool museums in there to look at old things from the 1800s it all has to do with arkansas's history though.

Everyone is so friendly and nice. They were doing a reenactment of the gold rush Era and each individual had some amazing stories to tell with lots of history behind it. I loved this place.

This museum is a great place to bring your family to learn a little history of Arkansas. It carries a wide variety of antiques and treasures throughout Arkansas past. You can do a self guided tour or get a tour guided by the employees every hour on the hour. The entire staff was extremely helpful and knowledgable. I highly recommend stopping by and checking this great museum out.
