  "Amazingly Great Little Museum"
  "The Herron Center is a museum and community center for the local African-American population and does a wonderful job of preserving and displaying the life of the community and the old building that was once their church, their school, and their gathering place."
• Randolph County Heritage Museum
  "Small But Interesting"
  "The Randolph County Heritage Museum is located on the courthouse square in downtown Pocohontas, Arkansas. I was very surprised by the preservation of the area and glad to see that businesses are using the old buildings there. The museum is located across the street from the courthouse and displays t..."he artifacts of the county which is mostly rural and farmland. Inside is a button factory from the turn of the last century when buttons were made from mussel shells and not plastic and mass produced. There is also a doctors office that is fully equipped and looks like it could be used today. The museum is a work in progress from what we were told. It is very interesting and worth a look. " More >
• Randolph County Heritage Museum
  "Best Community Museum I Have Seen"
  "This museum even has a small button factory rebuilt inside it, recreating how local people used to gather mussel shells from the Black River that flows by the town, and turn them into buttons before the days of modern plastic buttons. They have a little bit of everything, well displayed. The medica..."l room has medical equipment used in the county a hundred years ago, including one of the first x-ray machines every produced. There's also a great computerized kiosk that presents lessons on the area's geology, the Indians who lived here before the white men came, and the following eras of the steamboat, the railroad, the civil war, and more.
