  • New look! ✨ Our front yard just got a major glow-up! As part of our 2026 renovations, we’ve installed a brand-new monument sign featuring our refreshed logo. 🎨 Design: Sue Artiga (our very own Creative Services Manager!) 🛠️ Build: Sign Planet of Fayetteville The sign illuminates at night, making our campus easy to find even after the sun goes down. Come by and snap a photo with it next time you’re in downtown Springdale! 📸 #ShilohMuseum #SpringdaleAR #OzarkHistory #ArkansasOzarks

We have zero names for this group (except for those noted on the T-shirts) and would love to add them to our permanent collection. 💬 How to help: 1. Comment below with the row and position (e.g., "Front row, third from left is...") 2. If you share this post to your own page, please TAG the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History so we can see your answers!
