Bella Vista Historical Museum Proposed Addition​
Planning and fundraising for the proposed museum addition are underway! This rendering shows the proposed expansion going north from the present building, and enclosing the Settlers Cabin.
The objectives of the expansion project are:
​​​
-
To provide additional exhibit space to display more of the collection
-
To provide long-term protection to the Settlers Cabin and to the artifacts contained within
-
To provide additional climate controlled archival space for the Museum's large amount of paper records
-
To provide a space for functions that will allow the Museum to continue to function when the time arrives to replace the 1980's modular section of the Museum​
New Gift Shop Items!
If you're looking for Holiday gift ideas, we have a couple you're going to like! First is the Tim Ernst Arkansas 2025 photo calendar. The calendars sell for $15 each. Next are hand painted tea towels, which sell for $10 each. We're likely to sell out so please do stop by soon!
We Need Your Help Please
The burglary experienced on Oct. 26th exposed the need for upgraded security measures to help keep our history safe! The Society has ordered more security cameras, which will require an electrician to install. We would also like to add reinforcements on the outside of the back doors. Total expenses are estimated at $3,000.00. Any amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated.
New Arrival!

100% cotton Tea Towel by moody brown! Measures 27"x27". Available at the Museum for $10 each.

4 head covers for $20. There is a limited supply, so don't wait! Would make a great birthday or Christmas gift for that golfer in your life, or maybe just for you!
