SHILOH MUSEUM OF OZARK HISTORY

Now Open

Until further notice, we will be open Monday through Friday and closed Saturday. Every Thursday, 10 a.m. to noon, is for highrisk visitors only.

• If you have flu-like covid-19 symptoms (such as fever or chills and shortness of breath), please stay home for now.

• We’re limiting the number of visitors at one time, based on social distancing. If you arrive when we’re at maximum capacity, we’ll ask you to patiently wait until we have room for you.

• Enter through the front door and exit through the side (east) door to minimize interactio­ns. If you’re using a wheelchair or walker, just ring the east doorbell and we’ll come to open it for you.

• All visitors must wear face masks. Exceptions: those under two years old and anyone who has trouble breathing or is incapacita­ted. No mask? No problem. We’ll provide you with a free one.

• Please practice social distancing while in the museum. If you visit with children, keep them nearby and socially distanced. If you visit with a group, please stay together.

• Please leave personal belongings and strollers in your car. Purses are okay.

• Our store is closed because social distancing is impossible there.

• If you’re a researcher, email/call/mail research or photo questions and requests, due to the small size of our library and the inability to social distance.

Art and Community

Our next Shiloh Sandwiched-In program is set for noon Wednesday, March 17 via Zoom. Robin Wallis Atkinson, CEO of INTERFORM (formerly NWA Fashion Week and Arkansas Arts & Fashion Forum), will present “More Than Art: Fostering Community Through Collaborat­ive Creativity.” Atkinson will focus on ways arts, fashion, and culture can create images that help us understand our world and foster a sense of belonging for groups that have been historical­ly left out of mainstream cultural programmin­g.
