What visitors say
Very well done museum capturing the cotton industry and it's impact on families and culture. Great representations of life, tools and activities in that era
Really nice place to learn all about Arkansas History with real cotton plants and old machinery! Also a great gift shop!
A great stop for a traveling family and better than a rest stop. Educational and bit enlightening actually. Ingenuity is all around you as any museum is.
