Peel House Museum & Historic Gardens
The Peel Mansion site is not only an indoor museum but also an outdoor museum of historic roses, perennials and native plants. Careful research over many months has resulted in an extensive inventory of 19th-century plantings. Descendants of early settlers were interviewed for their childhood memories of early gardens. The 1845 Jacob Smith Nursery list from Fayetteville served as a documentary source. Various vignette gardens are interlaced among curvilinear walks and large shade trees, creating a most appropriate setting for this great historic building of Northwest Arkansas.
Events
Bikes, Blues & BBQ
The fastest growing motorcycle festival in the world. Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in just three years has grown to over 200,000 attendees.
War Eagle Craft Fair
The War Eagle Craft Fair was a project of, by and for little people—a group of little old ladies exhibiting their weaving. When that attracted a greater-than-expected response, other unsung artists and craftsmen were invited to participate. There is no government subsidy, sponsorship or assistance of any kind, just unpaid volunteers led by an Arkansas farmer and his wife. It has all happened in a magical place.
