​The use of aprons has been important to humans since time immemorial. Aprons have served both function and fashion through the centuries. You’ll see everything from utilitarian aprons used by housewives and tradesmen to novelty aprons used just for show. Learn how aprons can often tell stories about the people that wore them and sometimes even reflect their personal style.

Explore fun items from Rogers Founding Families including original tools, medicine bottles, doctors instruments, a pocket watch, post cards, a Knights Templar Uniform and even a cork sizer. Learn the fascinating history behind families such as the Millers who, after opening a simple dry goods store in 1881, had family members that went on to become a mayor, city treasurer and workers on the Frisco Railroad.

In a typical year, the Rogers Historical Museum can only display a small portion of its massive collection of objects. “Our Favorite Things” gave our museum staff an opportunity to exhibit their personal favorites by picking some of the most unique and often overlooked items in our collection. Along with seeing some rare pieces, visitors also got the chance to vote on their own “favorite things”.

​The Ozarks have been home to many artists, including painters, woodworkers, and other craftsmen. Take a look at some of the objects in the museum’s collection that were made by various Ozark artists. Among those featured include artworks by Roy Harris (folk art woodcarver), Elsie Mistie Sterling (sketch artist and painter) and Henry Tribble (wood inlayer).

​Apples were once the backbone of the Northwest Arkansas economy. So much so that this area was known as the Land of the Big Red Apple. Most of the good apples were shipped out to market on the train, but where did the bad apples go? This exhibit takes a closer look at the apple cider vinegar industry in Benton County in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
