Arkansas State University Museum

Much better than expected! Does anyone know this museum exists? Locals I have mentioned it to all replied «do what? where?»
There is no official admission fee, a meager $ 2 donation per visitor is suggested on an acrylic box at the entrance.
Housing a small collection of regional artifacts; informative displays about the life and everyday items of the indigenous people. A reconstructed Mastodon (a replica from a cast) stands in the entryway, a number of real fossils are on display.
«Old Town Arkansas» is a walkthrough display of shops and offices from the early 1800’s.
This is a kid friendly place with a number of interactive displays and activities.
If you don’t expect this to be the MET, you will not be disappointed. Yes it is a small place but I really enjoyed the visit and will follow the website to see future exhibits.
