Pets and past need holiday support
Shiloh Museum, Good Shepherd Humane Society
As we do every year, NWA Media has invited the nonprofit organizations that help our community all year to ask for help in return.
Their wish lists will appear in the Our Town section every Thursday through Christmas.
Shiloh Museum
What: The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is a regional history museum focusing on the Northwest Arkansas Ozarks. The museum takes its name from the pioneer community of Shiloh, which became Springdale in the 1870s. Most of what you’ll see at the museum highlights the real shapers of Ozark history — the everyday men, women and children who lived in local towns and rural communities. Along with exhibits, you can explore six historic buildings on the museum grounds. The museum also has a research library with a collection of more than 500,000 photographs of Ozark life. Education and outreach programs serve thousands of children and adults annually. All programs are free of charge.
Where: 118 W. Johnson Ave. in Springdale. Find it online at shilohmuseum.org.
