Expansion

Thanks to your generosity and the hard work of our staff and volunteers we have invested $268,000 in our new facility on Main Street. Our bank note stands at $96,000. Can you spare a few bucks to help us retire this bank note?

Expanding Our Reach

What else will be included in this section? Guests will walk into the first store in our area which was founded by Bartley Kennedy in the 1800's. After this walk through history, guests will exit the store after the turn of the century where they will be able to walk into Calico Rock Depot, help build the railroad, and even take a trip inside a caboose on the St. Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad!

We need your help to expand the Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center. As you can see from the photos, every exhibit is going to be immersive and transport guests back in time. These exhibits cost anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 to build and design. We're also working to retire the $100,000 bank loan that was needed to restore our beautiful building.

We've begun construction on the second of three sections in the new heritage museum. The first exhibit we are building out is a log church/school from the late 1800's. Just like the meeting houses of that time, our log structure will include exhibits on early schools, churches, and community gatherings. Check out that gorgeous handmade pulpit that Jake McKenzie built for the exhibit.
