The Bella Vista Historical Society announces the publication of a new pictorial history book, Bella Vista/Images of America, co-authored by Xyta Lucas and Dale Phillips, with photographic assistance by Jack Kellogg. The book includes photos dating from the late 1800’s through 2020 and is available now in the museum gift shop, from the publisher Arcadia Publishing, or on Amazon, and from Barnes & Noble in Rogers. The authors are donating all profits and royalties to the museum.

The museum's temporary exhibit is about the 45th anniversary of the Bella Vista Historical Society, formed in November, 1976. It also includes information on the new history book.
