About Us

Who We Are

      The Johnson County Historical Society strives to uncover, protect, and generate interest of the history of Johnson County, Arkansas. With the communities' help, we are able to piece together the history of Johnson County and preserve it at the museum through records, photography and other forms of permanent media. This allows historians to find the most accurate information on Johnson County. We want future generations to be able to look back in time and see how Johnson County and the community have changed through glimpses of local families and businesses.
