Out and About in Bentonville

Bentonville is a historic city but its major attraction, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, is decidedly modern. It's a stunning landmark, a glass and wood structure spanning two spring-fed ponds, the work of a renowned architect. Its permanent collection—which is open to the public free of charge—celebrates the American spirit and the natural beauty of the country through chronologically arranged art spanning some 500 years. The property covers 120 acres of Ozark forest, and visitors can explore three miles of nature trails surrounding the museum. Venture further back in time at the Museum of Native American History, where you'll see artifacts dating back more than 14,000 years. Bentonville Square, within easy reach of downtown hotels in Bentonville AR, is the site of Sam Walton's original Five and Dime, now the Walmart Visitor Center. Its red and white striped awning, recreated office of Sam Walton, old Ford truck, and 1950s-style soda fountain take you back to the megastore's humble mid-century beginnings. On a sunny day, spend some time at the circa-1875 Peel Mansion Museum and Heritage Gardens, the park around Lake Bella Vista, or Compton Gardens.
