Only open on Wednesday and Thursday and a couple hours Sunday afternoon, but the buildings are interesting. Will definitely be back to visit when they are open.

Lifelong visitor here (not an exaggeration- I have toddler memories of this place), so I cannot write an unbiased review, having watched this museum step up its game through three decades. If you are any kind of history buff, then of course most museums will be to your interest. For me, there is something about smaller, small-town museums that has always drawn me in. And this was my first small-town museum, and it remains the one by which I measure all others. Since my childhood, it has gained a host of separate outbuildings- mostly historical, with one impressive agricultural building- and many additions to the collections of its main building. Those of us who grew up in the Delta may enjoy the Desha County Museum most of all, because we have such a wealth of context to draw fascination from, but for anyone with a curious mind and a hunger to see and sense aspects of daily life and work that no longer exist outside of museums, at least in this country (ingenious but obsolete farming methods and equipment, player pianos, the one-room school, even a hulking letterpress and a terrifying permanent wave machine), the Museum is worth a visit. Admission, as far as I know, is free, and the tiny gift shop is as charming as the ladies who greet you as you walk in. There is always someone kind on hand to answer questions, or just to let you wander. Parking is straightforward (gravel lot near the street). There is usually a decent wind blowing across from the nearby fields, so bring a jacket unless it's high summer. Once inside the museum, it's nice and peaceful. Full set of restrooms, though small. An excellent day trip, or one to pair with a visit to the beautiful new Jerome-Rohwer Museum & Interpretive Center just a few miles south in McGehee, also a must-see.
