The museum opened May 1, 2005, after twenty years
of hopes, dreams and plans. The floor plan, the
display cabinets and the displays themselves have
all been put together by our volunteers and we're
very proud of their talents and their dedication.
Volunteer work crews from the Little Rock Air
Force Base have helped with landscaping and
janitorial work. The artifacts in the displays
are all on loan or outright gifts from local
citizens and are all original.
It
is the tireless dedication and daily effort of
our Board of Directors, that has brought the
museum to this point and they deserve much credit
for bringing this central Arkansas regional
attraction to our community.
The
future for the museum lies behind it.... a
ten-thousand square foot addition which will
house some military vehicles and displays for the
Korean, Gulf, Afghan and Iraqi Wars. We also have
a small theater where visitors can enjoy films
and lectures.
