PERMANENT EXHIBITS

HAILEY BUILDING

These five brand new galleries explore the history of Northwest Arkansas from the land and how it shaped our area to the pioneers who settled here, to a look at the beginning of the urbanization of Northwest Arkansas to the impact  of Beaver Dam, and a look at our more recent past.

CHILDREN'S GALLERY

This gallery, geared toward our youngest visitors & those young at heart, provides hands-on experiences with the past.  Explore "Grandma's House", "Grandpa's Workshop", the "Telegraph & Telephone Exchange Office", and a recreation of the fire escape at the original Rogers High School.

HAWKINS HOUSE

This middle class Victorian house has been restored to the early 1900s time period with furnishings displayed so that it seems that the Hawkins family still calls it home. Guided tours are available daily as well as seasonal tours.
​

KEY WING

These galleries are dedicated to educating through touch in Grandma's Attic by allowing children to dress up, 'cook' at a vintage stove, type on a vintage typewriter, and other fun activities. And by viewing a recreation of three of the earliest businesses in Rogers on First Street. Both of these galleries are accessible when not in use by school groups.

THE CABOOSE

Located in Frisco Park, only two blocks from the Museum, this retired caboose from the Frisco line allows visitors to experience the railroad history of Rogers. Contact the Museum to request the caboose be unlocked.
