Location

We are located in the historic Mitchell-East Building at 117 S Main Street in Tyronza, Arkansas.  Restoration of this building and development of the museum was made possible through grants from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council and a “We the People” Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
