Things to do in Arkansas, United States: The Best Military Museums
Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.
The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses.

We were a larger party, 8 in total (youth/young adults ages 6 to early 20's). Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and spoke to all age groups. It was really neat to enter the sub and see and feel what it was like. We enjoyed the museum and the tugboat- which was decorated for Christmas, and added to the fun. We enjoy historical sites and this was well worth the trip into Little Rock.

My wife and I spent a rainy afternoon at the Helena Museum. We had come to town specifically to learn all we could about her ancestor who had died in Helena during the Civil War. Joseph Alley was incredibly kind and helpful and seemed so interested to hear my wife's story and try to help us. It is a great, if small museum that Phillips County can be proud of.
