=museums in ne arknsas= []
 * Arkansas State University at Jonesboro Museum**, Jonesboro, Library, ASU campus, 870-972-2074. Top-notch display of glass and tableware. Also fossils, minerals, mounted animals, Indian artifacts, reconstructed doctor's office, shops, parlors, etc.


 * Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum **, hwy 63, Mammoth Spring, 870-***-*****. Museum bears the name of George D. Hay, who started the Grand Ol Opry.**

Eddie Mae Herron Center
 * Devoted to the preservation and display of the history of African American people of Randolph County, AR. Housed in a 1919 building which has served as a church and a "colored school", the museum contains many memories of the African Americans of Pocahontas, Arkansas. Located at 1708 Archer Street in Pocahontas, AR.**

Hampson Museum State Park**, Wilson, Hwy 61 at Lake Drive, 870-655-8622. If you're a paleoindian history enthusiast, you are familiar with the significance of the Nodena Site. This museum houses the collection of artifacts painstakingly excavated by Dr. Hampson from the plantation Nodena, which was jointly owned by himself and members of his family. This collection is archaeologically important because of the thoroughness of the excavation, the fact that it was relatively undisturbed by pot hunters, and the fact that it was an important population center at the height of the Mississippian culture. [|Hampson Archeological Museum State Park]**

Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum**, Piggot. It's also the visitor center for the Crowley's Ridge Parkway. Opened summer 1999, the 100th anniversary of Papa's birth. The "[|red barn]" in the back was Hemingway's apartment where he worked on "A Farewell to Arms." Hosts Hemingway-oriented literary conferences in conjunction with Arkansas State University at Jonesboro.**

Living Farm Museum**, Old Davidsonville State Park, Pocahontas, Hwy 166, 870-892-8329. By appointment.**

Mammoth Spring Depot Museum**, Mammoth Spring State Park, highway 63 at the MO/AR border, 870-625-7364. Train depot is set up as it was when it was a 1930's Frisco Line depot. Educational recordings at each point of interest are played at the press of a button. Best part is the mannequins in the displays. They are life casts of state park employees and their families.**

Old Davidsonville State Park Visitors' Center**, Pocahontas, highway 166 south, 870-892-4708. Visitors center has display of artifacts found within the park.**

Old Independence Regional Museum**, Batesville, Ninth and Vine Streets, 870-793-2121.**

Old Randolph County Courthouse**, Pocahontas, town square, 892-5617. Photographs and documents of historical importance hang on the walls of this old courthouse, which is now the Chamber of Commerce building. Tin ceilings-**

Parkin Archaeological State Park**, Parkin, off highway 64, 870-755-2500. Based on the discovery of a seven-layered chevron trade bead and a Spanish falconer's bell, this mound city is thought to be the location of Casqui, the capital of a collection of late Missippian culture tribes contemporary with the Nodena culture. The interpreters here seem pretty well-informed. As at Toltec Mounds, they offer classes in primitive technologies (flint-knapping, for example). If you're willing to commit for a whole day, they'll let you join in their supervised archaeological digs during the summer months.**

Powhatan Courthouse** State Park, Powhatan, Hwy 25, 870-878-6794. Beautiful old courthouse that was the seat of the "Mother of Counties." Good historical exhibits with lots of interesting pioneer history, particularly the old jail. Also, they display a "viking runestone" which was found locally. []

Rector Community Museum
121 West 4th Street, Rector, AR 72461,Phone: 870-595-2410,info@rectormuseum.com,www.rectormuseum.com/ Preserves the history of the town of Rector. Open Wed. and Friday or by appointment; located in the Rector library


 * Stone County Museum**, off Highway 9, Mountain View, 870-***-****. The old school building has been converted into a museum full of artifacts primarily of local interest. Most of these museums have one or two peculiar and interesting artifacts. This one has a jar which was filled with white cherries in 1870 and sealed with wax by a young bride who hoped to share them with her husband on their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Well, the husband didn't quite go the distance, and in 1940 their daughter ate the cherries.
