Greetings from Arkansas Postcard, available at Legends’ General Store

Friendly, fun, and fantastic, Arkansas welcomes you with unmatched natural beauty, charming, historic towns, exciting cities, towering mountains, lush green valleys, rolling hills, and a wealth of beautiful, clear water lakes and rivers.

Arkansas has 50 state parks and great experiences at mountaintop hideaways, lakeshore cabins, and riverside campsites along the famous White River. Visit a folk cultural complex demonstrating the traditional homestead crafts and front porch music of the Ozark Mountains and prehistoric Native American mounds. Visit a diamond mine where you’ll search for “finders keepers” gems. Take a ride on a riverboat, take a swamp tour, or embark on many other adventures available in Arkansas.

Whether you are planning a romantic weekend getaway, your next family adventure, or a sportsman’s holiday, Arkansas is a great destination for all seasons.

Enjoy your visit to Arkansas, and welcome to Ozark Mountain Legends!

A diamond on a red field represents the only place in North America where diamonds have been discovered and mined. The 25  white stars around the diamond mean that Arkansas was the twenty-fifth state to join the Union. The top four stars in the center represent that Arkansas was a member of the Confederate States during the Civil War. The other three stars represent Spain, France, and the United States, countries that had earlier ruled the land, including Arkansas.
