Museum History
At the award-winning Rogers
Historical Museum you can discover the past
through
a wide variety of permanent and changing exhibits,
educational programs, and special events.
You'll step into the turn of the 20th century with a tour of
the 1895 Hawkins House and immerse yourself in
thought-provoking exhibits offering folks of all ages
interesting things to see and to do.
You can enjoy hands-on fun in The Attic, our "please touch"
exhibit that is a favorite with families. And you'll explore
a downtown of yesteryear on First Street, an exhibit that
brings to life three early Rogers businesses.
With your visit to the Rogers Historical Museum, you'll come
to appreciate the history of this corner of Northwest
Arkansas through the stories of its people. Touching
stories, funny stories, inspiring stories. Stories of famous
people like Betty Blake (Mrs. Will) Rogers, political
reformer W.H. "Coin" Harvey, or pioneer aviator Louise
Thaden. And stories of ordinary people who lived through
extraordinary times. The Museum's mission is to preserve and
share these stories.
Admission is free and hours are from 10a.m. to 4p.m.,
Tuesday through Saturday. Closed major holidays.
