Home and Heart

After miles of flat farmland coming out of Little Rock… the Ozarks begin to appear.

Here’s a peek at downtown Bentonville – the little town that gave us Walmart

The pickup truck is Sam Walton’s truck that he drove every day until his passing – no fancy car for him.

This used bookstore is full of wonderful first editions…and flowers made out of the pages of old books.

Lots of Parks & Playgrounds – very “Kid Friendly” town.

And the BIG attraction is Crystal Bridges Museum – near the Crystal Springs and less than a mile from the center of town. Dick enjoyed walking back and forth. (Click on the photo below to start the video)

Crystal Bridges Museum of Art has the largest collection of American Art in the world. They succeed in blending Art, Architecture, and Nature. The last photos here are of an entire Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian House on the grounds. It was originally in New Jersey but was moved to the Ozarks after repeated flooding threatened its survival. We weren’t allowed to take photos of the interior – if you are interested you can find interior photos at the Crystal Bridges Museum website.

Last but not least – more signs of Spring and a gorgeous sunset.

Next stop – KANSAS CITY!
