Thousands of local relics...$5 but PRICELESS! Medical room, War room, Dog Patch room, among others. The building is a 100 year old school. Go if you haven’t and lay hands on things you’ve only read about in books! ️

Some interesting things, not much to interest kids...and $5.00 seems reasonable, but gets expensive to bring the family. Most places with similar collections are free or work off donations. They have a “new” exhibit room for Dogpatch USA, with absolutely no information about the place. We took our time, trying to get our money’s worth, and still only spent 30 minutes. Very litttle to no information about the area, which seems strange given that it’s a heritage museum.

People are friendly, but exhibits need to be better organized. There were several items I couldnt see clearly due to the clutter.

I found this museum accidentally while in Harrison doing ancestry research. I was getting gas and looked up and there it was a block away. I had the pleasure of speaking with all of the research assistants while I was there and they were so helpful. I had a stumbling block in my research that I couldnt get around and they solved the problem. It had to do with the last name of Pillow, which had been spelled on various censuses as Pillow/Pillar/Piller/Pilla. One lady said, Honey, if the census taker is at the door and he asked your gr-gr-grandma what her last name was, she probably replied with the typical Arkansas accent and said Piller, meaning Pillow. They helped me unravel my tangled mess of ancestors that day, drew out a map to my gr-gr-grands gravesite in Hilltop, copied records for me, made notes -- it was wonderful! I paid $2 to get in, which was really for the railroad museum but it was the best money I have ever spent. Ive gone back for two more visits and get new information every time. Plan to spend a whole day and find your key that unlocks the door to your ancestors.
