    Members-Only Movie: Boggy Creek II

    Shiloh Meeting Hall 121 W Huntsville Ave, Springdale, AR, United States

    In partnership with the NWA Film Club, Shiloh Museum members are invited to a special (and slightly spooky) night at the movies! Join us for a screening of the 1983 cult classic, Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues. Filmed right here in Arkansas, this stand-alone sequel follows a University of Arkansas professor and three brave students as they venture into the wilderness to track down the legendary Boggy Creek monster.

The Night’s Schedule: 6:30 PM | Doors Open: Arrive early to grab your seat and enjoy light refreshments. 7:00 PM | Special Presentation: Before the cameras roll, join Shiloh Museum historian Rachel Whitaker and Ozark author/illustrator Gustav Carlson for a short deep-dive into the history and myth of the Boggy Creek legend. 7:30 PM | The Big Screen: The film begins! (90-minute runtime). Know Before You Go: No RSVP Required: Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Meeting Hall has limited capacity, so early arrival is encouraged! New to Boggy Creek? No problem! No prior knowledge of the series, […]

    Shiloh Meeting Hall Open House

    Shiloh Meeting Hall 121 W Huntsville Ave, Springdale, AR, United States

    Shiloh Meeting Hall We’re opening the doors of our historic Shiloh Meeting Hall for an open house from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, March 2, through Saturday, March 7, and you’re invited! While the main museum building undergoes renovations, we’re offering the public a rare glimpse inside the 1871 building that has served many roles before it became part of Shiloh’s campus in 2005. The two-story frame building served as different churches at various times, a Masonic lodge, a women’s civic club, and, for much of the 20th century, an Odd Fellows Hall. We’ll have activities with opportunities to view the second-floor museum that details the building’s colorful history!
