Big things are happening at the Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center!

Today was a necessary first step—a milestone day—as our city guys/construction crew worked hard on several exciting projects:
🔹 Our new classroom is taking shape, creating a dedicated space for classes and educational programs that preserve the traditional rural skills of self-reliance and connect generations through hands-on learning.
🔹 The Ozarks Nature Experience is underway, with plans for an immersive forest, river, and cave environment that will celebrate the natural beauty of our region.
🔹 Other exhibits are expanding and refreshing, from astronomy to local history, ensuring there’s always something new for our visitors to discover.

We are deeply grateful for the dedication of our city guys—the construction crew whose hard work and craftsmanship are laying the foundation for all that is to come. They are helping us bring these dreams to life, one step at a time. 💛

Stay tuned—this is only the beginning of a bright new chapter for our museum!

Sheriff’s Office Proudly Serving for Two Centuries

Izard County marks a historic milestone this month—200 years since its founding in 1825. As one of Arkansas’ oldest counties, Izard County has a rich heritage of community, service, and resilience.

The Izard County Sheriff’s Office is honored to have been a part of that history, proudly serving and protecting the people of this county for two centuries. From horseback patrols in the 1800s to modern law enforcement today, the mission has remained the same: To Protect and Serve with Honor and Integrity.

“This is a special moment for Izard County,” said Sheriff Charley Melton. “The Sheriff's Office has been here since the beginning, working alongside our citizens to keep our communities safe. Izard County’s 200-year legacy is a tribute to the resilience, hard work, and spirit of its people."

As we celebrate Izard County’s bicentennial, the Sheriff’s Office extends gratitude to all past Sheriffs, past and present deputies, jailers, dispatchers, staff, and the citizens who have stood beside them in support. Together, we look forward to continuing our tradition of service for the next 200 years.
