Rogers Historical Museum

For more than a century professional photographers have been capturing significant moments in our community's history. Many of those photographs are now in the collections of the Rogers Historical Museum, and a few outstanding images have been selected for display at the Arkansas World Trade Center. "Visions of Change: Historic Photographs from the Rogers Historical Museum" illustrates the changes that occurred between two pivotal moments, the coming of the railroad and the creation of Beaver Lake. The arrival of the railroad in 1881 created Rogers and opened up new opportunities for all of Northwest Arkansas. The building of Beaver Dam in the 1960s provided the water supply that has made this region's growth over the past four decades possible. In between these two major events photographers captured changes in agriculture, industry, commerce and transportation, including the birth of the modern poultry industry and the rise of manufacturing after World War II.

The Rogers Historical Museum is a family-friendly local history museum located in Rogers' historic downtown. The Museum offers a variety of exhibits and programs on area history, and also brings traveling exhibitions of general interest to our area. Hours are 10 to 5 Monday through Friday.
