Community Outreach

Museum staff can visit your civic group, community club, or other organization to present programs on a variety of topics that relate to Arkansas Ozark history. Most programs are 30-60 minutes in length (we can adjust to fit your schedule) and are accompanied by a slide presentation.

Programs are free of charge and need to be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. If you're interested in a topic not listed below, give us at least one month's notice and we'll be happy to create a program for you. For more information, email outreach coordinator Susan Young or call 479-750-8165.
