INTRODUCTION
The Calico Rock Heritage Center is
a bridge between our history and
culture and our visitors. The
museum focuses solely on the
history and culture of the Calico
Rock area.
Visitors will experience life in the
ozarks, traveling aboard a
steamboat on the White River, the
boom of the railroad, crossing the
ferry, and the modernization that
came with the bridge across our
river.
Visitors will gain an appreciation for
the struggles and triumphs of
people's daily lives. They'll leave
with a fondness for the river that
has been the lifeblood of our
community since we were
discovered by the French settlers
and fur trappers.
Come see where our history comes
alive and experience life on the
banks of the White River.

Make Your Home a Family History Museum
With high gas prices and sagging economy, you don't have to travel this
summer to have fun! Instead, make a home family history museum.
First, take a shoebox and gather up old photographs, momentos, old
newspaper clippings, and anything that you want in your display.
Next, lay out newspapers in your work area to prevent a mess. Lay out
all of the artifacts that you collected and begin thinking about arranging
the items.
Take a piece of poster board and glue or tape artifacts onto the board.
Write text boxes under the artifact items. Now, draw designs, headlines
and decorate your displays.
Once everyone in the family has their display boards ready, line them up
along the living room couch and then let each family member present
their display to everyone else.
Its a great way for the family to come together, learn about family
history, learn to make presentations, tell stories, and connect to learning
right at home. Plus, its a great fun way to spend a summer day!
