The Rogers Historical Museum announces a new temporary exhibit, “Last Call: History of Alcohol in Ozarks” on show March 15 through November 9, 2024.
The tangled history of moonshiners and bootleggers versus the energetic women of the temperance society all played important roles in the complicated story of alcohol in Arkansas. This exhibit follows the chronological pendulum of Arkansas law as it swings back and forth through the years between the cold sober teetotalers who campaigned for dry counties and the high-spirited bibbers who supported wet counties. See how the legacy of this historic battle led to the present-day success of more retail alcohol sales than ever before in Northwest Arkansas.
Included in the exhibit are an authentic Ozarks copper still, a mid-20th century commercial wine bottling machine, as well as many local stories and historic photographs.
Dive into the Civil War through a reenactor, Jim Spillars, as he shares his vast knowledge on reenacting the Battle of Prairie Grove. Learn about uniforms, rifle muskets, Minie balls, powder, and percussion caps! Mr. Spillars will delve into the life and experiences of a Civil War soldier and share this history, with a tour, of the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park where the real battle and an every-other year reenactment occur.
Exquisite Creatures is a dialogue with art, nature, and science that asks the question: what is it about the natural world that calls to us? Throughout the exhibition, artist and naturalist Christopher Marley reflects on humanity’s intimate relationship with nature, revealing its intricate beauty and diversity through three-dimensional works comprised of animal, mineral, and plant specimens arranged in precise, geometric compositions. Shown together, the works create an immersive environment which inspires wonder and fosters a desire to preserve the natural world.
Crystal Bridges welcomes guests to experience the connection between art, nature, and science, emotionally and aesthetically, throughout the exhibition. The museum will activate the show’s themes through nature and science-based programming and activities both inside the museum and outdoors across its trails and grounds. The exhibition’s curatorial lead is Xuxa Rodriguez, PhD, associate curator, contemporary art.
A panel of Master Gardeners will discuss how your garden can be improved using native plants. Participants are encouraged to bring a project they are working on in their own gardens. The panelists will offer suggestions on plant choice and other ways to improve your garden.

Backed by a live band playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, this darkly funny, electric new play tells the story of a father who escaped a murderous regime returning home after 30 years in search of his wayward daughter. As the play jumps back in time, it’s a rock epic meets thrilling mystery as both are forced to face the music of the past.
