This is a wonderful place to visit if you are at all interested in history and appreciate the aesthetics of all of the pretty white headstones neatly lined up, rows and rows and go on and on.

This stadium is better than many minor league parks. There are regular crowds of 8K+ fans calling the hogs. It is a family friendly place but watch out for the outfield where the fans harass the opposing teams outfielders. It is very entertaining to listen. This stadium is fan-based and fans are engaged in play from beginning to end of game. Plus the University of Arkansas baseball team is always ranked in the top!

This library has won all sorts of awards and recognition. There is a coffee shop inside so you can check out a book and have a cup of joe. The architecture alone is worthy of the visit.
