Downtown History Walk
The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History will explore the agricultural history of downtown Springdale during a walking tour of Emma Avenue, at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 1. Led by museum research librarian Rachel Whitaker, the hour-long tour will focus on historic fruit, vegetable, and poultry businesses that were located on Emma Avenue from the 1880s into the 1950s.
The tour will begin at the log cabin on the museum grounds. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water. "After the walking tour, participants will have the opportunity to visit three businesses who are continuing downtown Springdale's historic connection to local agriculture: the Mill Street farmers market, the Jones Center farmers market, and Black Apple Crossing, the only cidery in Arkansas," said Whitaker.
The tour is free; no preregistration is required.
