Celebrate Arkansas Heritage Month by joining us for a tour Saturday, May 23rd, of one of Arkansas’s most special places.

Tours are offered all day upon demand. The cost is $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 6-12, and children under 6 are free. For more information, call (870) 878-6765 or email powhatan@arkansas.com.
Arkansas enjoys a vast wealth of natural and cultural resources. Its physical beauty, musical influence, folk arts, fine arts, social and political history all make for a colorful and unique heritage worth celebrating. The Department of Arkansas Heritage sets aside the month of May each year as a time to recognize and appreciate Arkansas’s cultural and natural heritage. This annual tradition got it’s start in 1982 as Arkansas Heritage Week. It was expanded to include a full month of activities, including community heritage festivals, workshops, tours and more. Each year a theme is chosen for Arkansas Heritage Month that provides an opportunity to learn about some aspect of our state.
