My husband and I were in Batesville for Scottish Fest at his alma mater, the fabulous Lyon College; however, the cold, April rain put such a damper on the outdoor festivities, we decamped to one of our favorite museums in Arkansas! We have been coming here for several years to peruse their collection of historical records and to work on my genealogical project. The staff is friendly and helpful, the exhibits are educational and regularly updated, and the well stocked Gift Shop always receives a “donation” from me, a jewelry maven!????
