This year celebrate Independence Day as it was celebrated on the Arkansas frontier. At Historic Arkansas Museum from 2pm to 4pm, there will be special activities.  The afternoon activities include an old-time patriotic parade (at 3pm), 19th century music and encounters with people from the past.

Cheer “huzzah” during a reading of The Declaration of Independence — and watch out for Red Coats, who have nothing good to say about it!

Children can walk on stilts and play other pioneer games, and they’ll be invited to take up brooms and wooden rakes to train with the militia.  They will also have the opportunity to create flags, streamers and signs to use in the parade.

Come join us for an afternoon of old-fashioned fun! All activities are free and open to the public.

Events are free.
