  • ✨ HAPPENING TODAY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13! ✨

What do Arkansas gravestones tell us about the living? ✨

Join us for a Not Strictly History session with author Abby Burnett. We’re diving into her new book, Though Silent They Speak, to explore the stories behind the state’s most unusual burial grounds—from hidden rural carvings to the monuments of our city centers.

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

  • 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! 📸

  • ✨ We need your help identifying this crowd for today's 📷 #PhotoIDFriday! This sea of faces is the University of Arkansas Drill Team Camp from June 1973. Our records show this was taken right outside Pomfret Hall.

Recognize a friend? See yourself in your striped camp shirt? 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.
