Not only a nice stop over for history, there is a great place to eat with Hub Cap hamburgers too.
Thank you for your review. The staff strives hard to complete the mission of the museum and interpret from statehood in 1836 through World War II when tractors began to take the place of man and mule power. Bring more folks with you when you return and send more folks to the museum.
Thank you for your kind comments. The museum is located about 3 blocks north of the famous Cotham's Restaurant and 4 miles north of Toltec Mounds Archeology State Park. Also open March through October is the Plantation Settlement, another great time period attraction in the area. Come back to see new exhibits, special events and festivals throughout the year.
We enjoyed our visit to the Plantation Agriculture Museum. Espically the guys, but they have something for everyone in here. So go have some fun and very educational
An interesting living history museum in a pretty part of the state.
We visited this museum as part of the Arkansas Civil War 150th Passport tour. We especially enjoyed the cotton gin exhibit and our interpreter Ms. White. The museum is housed in one long room, with several other exhibits in other buildings. There is also a patch of cotton in the yard where you can experience picking cotton. The museum was well put together with very interesting exhibits. I would recommend a stop.
Thank you for your great review of the museum and the mission. The staff works diligently to create meaningful exhibits and programs to tell the story of when Cotton was King in Arkansas. Bring more folks with you on your return visit and send more to the museum.
Thank you for your contributing comment. The staff takes pride in the artifacts to tell the story of cotton when it was King. Come back to see us and bring more with you, send more to see.
We visited The Plantation Museum as part of a day trip to Scott. It's small, but there are lots of things to see and some really nice hands-on demonstration. The park interpreter demonstrated how the seeds are removed from the cotton and how cotton is spun into yarn. We didn't go outside because of the rain.We decided to stay a while and make the craft of the day, which were pot holders. It took about an hour, cost a dollar and the kids really enjoyed it! You can also buy some cotton. We all had a good time, worth the visit!
The Plantation Agriculture Museum offers a historical view of agriculture in the state of Arkansas by examining nearby plantations, share-cropping, and cotton processing. Outdoor exhibits include antique steam engines and tractors and a small plot of growing cotton. A reconstructed building contains an authentic cotton gin used on a nearby plantation.Overall the museum was well planned and offers an insightful view of cotton production on the nearby plantations.
