"I say if you have a chance to go here, GO!! It is so worth it! It's a wonderful story of our history, and they do well with the telling of the battle. I'm framing one of the artists' paintings, and I'll update this when I get it in."

"My favorite painting of the war between the states is housed behind the front desk here an amazingly large scene from the battle that rocked this area. Their exhibits are stunning and informative, having ancestors who were in Captain Jackman’s Partisans and the Arkansas cavalry outfits it was a truly great experience to see the history brought to life at this wonderful facility."

"Small, free museum with a very informed docent, ready to answer questions. They also have a couple of outstanding art pieces that are worth seeing just by themselves."
