📚 A new chapter begins at the Shiloh Museum! Our first-ever Little Free Library has arrived on the southwest corner of the museum grounds. Designed as a miniature version of the historic Shiloh Meeting Hall, this addition helps support our mission of providing free public access to history and education. Special thanks to longtime museum member Dolores Stamps for inspiring the idea and to Paul Alvarez of Boy Scouts of America Troop 777 for making it a reality as an Eagle Scout project. Take a book. Share a book. Discover something new. 📍 Visit us in downtown Springdale and see it for yourself! #LittleFreeLibrary #ShilohMuseum #SpringdaleArkansas #DowntownSpringdale #ArkansasOzarks
