This museum is small, but important. Who knew this was part of Arkansas history? Learn here the story of Japanese internment in Arkansas from local folks who know the area and what happened.

This is an amazing piece of history. I had never known of that we had internment camps in AR or anywhere else in the US. The destruction and disruption of people's lives is hard to see. The irony of the ones in AR, is that the inmates lived better than the majority of people outside the fence. If you are in the area, I highly recommend you visit the museum.
