Get your students’ hands busy, their toes tappin’, their imaginations sparkin’ as they experience a slice of frontier Arkansas.

How can you get started?

  • You may bring students to us—on field trips.
  • You may borrow loan boxes—to use in your classroom.
  • You may download materials—and bring the knowledge to life on your own turf.

Or, you can do all of the above! Each approach works alone or together to help you “show and tell” Arkansas’s pioneer history to Arkansas students.

Experiencing frontier Arkansas is not just for children. We have excellent in-service programs for teachers, too. Find out how we can introduce you to the best of pioneer Arkansas history and suggest ways for you to share your newfound knowledge with your students.
