The Unique Village In Arkansas Where Time Stands Still
Do you ever wish that you could escape this reality and return to a simpler time? Perhaps to an era when there were no cell phones, TVs, or modern conveniences? To a time when our ancestors did everything with old-fashioned tools and equipment. Well, if this sounds interesting to you, then take a trip to Pioneer Village in Searcy. It’s a unique village in Arkansas that’s frozen in time, and it is one of the best living histories of a forgotten era. Let’s visit this historic settlement and be astounded by what we find.
Step into a time capsule at the Pioneer Village in Searcy Arkansas. This museum is a living replica of early pioneer life, dating back to the late 1800s.
Located at 1200 Higginson Street, the village is managed and operated by the White County Historical Society.
However, the village was created in the 1960s by local business owner Oran Vaughn, who wanted to preserve the incredible memories of his grandparents’ home as well as their way of life.
Typically, for the self-guided tours, the buildings are locked, but the village hosts yearly events, where you can step inside and fully immerse into this forgotten era.
You’ll enjoy stepping inside the kitchen and witness volunteers prepare food and goodies from scratch.
