Hard to miss this beautiful building near downtown Bentonville with a historical marker out front…read more The marker reads, "Built in 1890 by Captain NH Henry. Captain Henry served in the Civil War as a member of General Stonewall Jackson's artillery. After the war Henry moved to Bentonville where he helped build Bentonville's first steam railway and served as a Treasurer for Benton County. The Henry House is built in the Italianate style and the main façade has been unaltered since construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988." It is a two-story brick structure with Italianate architectural details like trusses in the front-facing gable, a scrollwork balustrade on the main porch, and scrolled brackets on the hood over a side entrance. This 1890 construction is a good example of the late Italianate style brick homes that were constructed in Bentonville in large quantities between 1870 and 1895. I was able to find the Henry House on an apartment/short-term rental site. [Review 19801 overall - 277 in Arkansas - 774 of 2023.]

We had 3 children under 2 in our group and were so pleased to find things they could enjoy at this age. They have two specific toddler play areas that are for children ages 2 and below, plus another section for children ages 6 and below. It was so nice having them play in these areas without getting overrun by bigger kids! You could easily spend all day in this museum because there are endless activities and things to see. The museum is very clean, well organized, and spacious. I can't wait to bring my daughter back in future years so she can enjoy even more aspects of the museum!

Forget the art pieces. This is a really cool space. Architecturally, it's what I would envision a…read moremodern art museum would look like. I don't have the acumen enough to convey how sick this place is, my vocabulary fails me. You just have to visit it and take it in one angle, one hall way, one vista at time and come away truly impressed. BTW did I talk about the individual pieces on display because they are numerous, vibrant and more importantly- relevant. This is art for the masses. Art has a built in haughtiness but this is more digestible to everyone. The Getty Museum as gorgeous as the grounds are - left this plebeian wanting on its exhibits. Did I mention entrance is complimentary! They should charge. They're worth it.

Generally, no one answers emails. For such a world class museum, is it too much to ask that someone answer the phone? There was a famous speaker there recently, and I had some questions about parking. I am a paid member, and I also paid to hear the speaker. I simply had some questions about parking, and could not find the answer anywhere online. Once again, I called... and no one answered. This is a major blemish on this museum, in my opinion. I sent an email asking for a refund of my membership, but of course never heard back about that, either.

First…read morestop was @monah_nwa which is a small but very well curated museum of Native American history- much was from tribes and people of this area of North America, but it also included beautiful and well-preserved artifacts from indigenous people of North and South America. Admission is whatever you choose to donate. My teens participated in the arrowhead "dig" in the area around the teepee out front...they got to keep one of the arrowheads they "discovered" and then purchased the rest with some mad cash from their grandma! You need about 2-3 hours to make your way through the entire museum and get the gist, and a bit more than 3 hours if you want to listen about each numbered artifact with the provided sound wand. I'm so glad we stopped for the morning!
