Forrest City, Arkansas is known as the Jewel of the Delta, and it doesn't take long to understand the source of this sobriquet. Even if you're only staying one night in your choice of hotels in Forrest City, AR, you can't help but absorb the beauty, history, and culture of this community dating back to 1870. Throw your whole spirit into the journey and take the time to find the adventures and exciting ideas hidden in this quaint Southern town. As Irving Wallace said, "Every man can transform the world from one of monotony and drabness to one of excitement and adventure.” It's all in how you frame it.
Take a moment to check in to one of our hotels near Forrest City, AR and settle in. Then, buckle in to one of the Forrest City rental cars and make your way to the St. Francis County Museum in the historic Rush-Gates home. Here you'll browse regional artifacts and even fossils found on nearby Crowley's Ridge, learning about local history and geology throughout. Mastodons are said to have walked these lands; it may be hard to picture now, but if you take a moment to conjure up the sights and sounds of the Pleistocene Era sprawling over a pristine and as yet unnamed Arkansas, the resulting image is truly awe-inspiring. Not far from here is Stuart Springs Park, which was the site of a spa around the turn of the 20th century. Although only traces of the brick foundation of the springhouse remain, it's still an excellent place for a stroll and the admiration of natural Arkansas beauty.
