Springdale is known
for its role in poultry processing, but did you
know that Tyson’s started as a produce company?
Staff from Shiloh Museum of Ozark
History and Downtown Springdale Alliance
will lead participants through a walking tour
of food production history in Springdale that
includes the stories of the beginnings of commerce
on Emma Avenue and the railroads.
Stops on the tour will bring to life the apple,
strawberry, and grape growing and processing,
the 1930s migrant labor camp, the buildings,
and the people who made our community
what it is today. Historic photos and
knowledgeable storytellers will make this an
engaging look into the history of our city.
Lunch (on your own) will be after tour at
Con Quesos in Downtown Springdale.
Wear comfortable shoes.
