  • After a brief summer vacation, #PhotoIDFriday returns! 📸✨

This is a fun one. Just take a look at that Ford Mustang, the driver’s cool aviator sunglasses, and the crowned children in the back seat who are knighted “Little Mr. & Mrs. Springdale”! 👑🕶️🚗

The car’s sign suggests they are with First National Bank in support of the poultry industry. We think this may have been for the Rodeo of the Ozarks parade right here in Springdale. 🐔🤠

Can you help us solve this history mystery? 🤔 👇 We know the photo was taken in 1968, but do you recognize any of the people in the car? 

And while we're at it, who is the woman just passing through in the background?

  • Did you miss Benjamin Hale’s presentation last month on his book, “Cave Mountain: A Disappearance and a Reckoning in the Ozarks”?

Good news! This Not Strictly History presentation is now on our YouTube channel! 🎥

In this video, Benjamin Hale is joined by his cousin, Haley Zega, to share the incredible, chilling story of her 2001 disappearance in the Ozarks, her survival, and the layered regional history that followed her rescue.
