Take a stroll on the
boardwalk through Old Town Arkansas. This exhibit consists of 13
turn-of-the-century shops and offices which were typical of the local region between 1880
and 1920.
Enter the exhibit through the facade of the old Craighead Country
Courthouse of Jonesboro, Arkansas. The bell tower of the facade houses the actual bell
that rang in the original 1886 courthouse.
While strolling down the lane, you may visit the general store,
mercantile, jewelry and optical shop, pawn shop, barber shop, land office, post office,
bank, drugstore, drug manufacturing shop, print shop, doctor's office and dentist's
office. There is even a town square which features period photographs of area main
streets.
