We are a leading local authority 
on the history and heritage
of South Arkansas.

Welcome to South Arkansas Heritage Museum!
​

Our mission is to illustrate our past, which we believe gives meaning to our present and lights the path to our future.  We want to educate and inspire our members, volunteers, donors, benefactors, and visitors. 
We assume as our responsibilities to:

Collect, research, preserve, catalog, and document artifacts from our collection and community
that promote understanding of the way of life of our past generations;

Focus our efforts on the primary categories of tools and artifacts owned and used by the workers,
craftsmen, and artisans that are donated by the museum founders and benefactors including
items from local industries, clothing and related fabric arts, home crafts,
​farming, occupations, and pastimes in southern Arkansas;

Exhibit our artifacts and produce interpretive living history displays and participatory programs;

Promote the studies of history, genealogy, culture, and heritage by making our facilities available
to the community and schools and by supporting other local historical organizations and their
members through reciprocal agreements and joint projects; and

Act as a central repository and archive for written, printed, and graphic paper documents and
photographs that are relevant to our local history and culture, particularly that of
Columbia, Nevada, and Lafayette counties ​in south Arkansas.
