The Arkansas Car Museum Where A Quick Stop Turns Into Hours Among Gleaming Classics

A road trip up a mountain in central Arkansas can end with a presidential limousine-era story, a movie time machine, and a piano that plays itself.

For many Americans, the Great Depression starts with the stock market crash of October 1929. In the Arkansas hill country, it was not that simple. For families scattered across the Ozarks and Ouachitas, hard times began years earlier. Farm prices had collapsed after World War I. Timber operations were shrinking. Small towns depended on farmers with less and less money to spend. Roads were poor, schools struggled for funds, and cash was often scarce even during what the rest of the country remembered as the prosperous 1920s.
