Black Apple is Arkansas' first cidery, producing incredible hard cider in its natural state - clean and unadulterated with no preservatives. You can try 10+ flavors in our Downtown Springdale taproom or in bars, restaurants and retailers around Arkansas.

This was a really fun stop on our trip in the Fayetteville/Bentonville area. This is probably the best hard cider I've ever had and they have a delicious selection. We ordered flights and enjoyed them outside on the patio which is the only section open because of the pandemic right now.
2. Shiloh Museum of Ozark History
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 66 reviews
The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is a regional history museum focusing on the Northwest Arkansas Ozarks. The museum takes its name from the pioneer community of Shiloh, which became Springdale in the 1870s. Most of what you'll see at the museum highlights the real shapers of Ozark history - the everyday men, women, and children who lived in our towns and rural communities. Along with exhibits, you can explore six historic buildings on the museum grounds. We also have a research library with a collection of over 500,000 photographs of Ozark life.

We fell in love with this place! The museum isn't large, but is so well put together!! It shows aspects of life in Arkansas during different time periods, helping people to see how every day life changed and progressed over time. Each section has a well-maintained hands-on activity for the kids (and adults) to explore. The items on display are well protected without feeling like a boring museum. Items are documented with interesting tidbits and explanations. The employees and volunteers were kind to the children and expressed a real desire for them to learn. If visiting with kids, be sure to ask for the scavenger hunt packets! They provided a perfect way for the kids to review the exhibits and encouraged them to look closer at something they might have missed. My kids - ages 12, 10, 7, & 6 - thought they were some of the best museum scavenger hunts they'd done.
