While Arkansas’ reputation for outdoor adventure is well-earned, there’s no shortage of attractions and activities that celebrate the state’s rich history and cultural contributions. History buffs can explore Civil War battlegrounds, unlock the story of the U.S. Marshals Service, get immersed in Native American history and walk the same steps as some of our country’s civil rights pioneers. Art enthusiasts will be just as intrigued with some of the world’s top collections at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville and Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts in Little Rock.
