What do Arkansas gravestones tell us about the living? โœจ

Join us for a Not Strictly History session with author Abby Burnett. Weโ€™re diving into her new book, Though Silent They Speak, to explore the stories behind the stateโ€™s most unusual burial groundsโ€”from hidden rural carvings to the monuments of our city centers.

Whether itโ€™s a graveyard on the grounds of a former internment camp or private tombs in public spaces, these sites hold our history.

Our front yard just got a major glow-up! As part of our 2026 renovations, weโ€™ve installed a brand-new monument sign featuring our refreshed logo.

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 youโ€™re in downtown Springdale! ๐Ÿ“ธ
