Preserving the past for the future through collection, display, and education.
About Us
The city of Bentonville’s history is long and rich. Early Native American settlements, a successful agricultural industry, the Battle of Pea Ridge, the growth of Walmart… there are many stories to be shared.
The Bentonville Historical Museum aims to preserve the past for the future through collection, display, and education for residents and visitors alike.
The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.
— Theodore Roosevelt
