bridging the past and future
Our Exhibits
The Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center showcases the rich heritage of our community. Explore exhibits that highlight the unique stories and historical artifacts of Calico Rock. The unique thing about the Calico Rock Museum is that guests literally walk into our history with immersive exhibits from the deck of the Ozark Queen steamboat, the General Store, or entering a wikihut built by Shawnee along the river.
The Ben Sanders Discovery Center features exhibits where guests explore why Calico Rock became a natural spot for development and how the people survived in this rugged, yet beautiful, landscape.
The Windgate Art Center, E.C. Rodman Atrium, and Tomlinson Art Center feature over 300 works of art from locals to world famous artists like Alice Neel, Dale Chihuly, and Andy Warhol.
These exhibits rival what I have seen as some of the greatest museums in the world. I would expect to find this museum in a big city, not a small Arkansas town. And, it was free!
