Bentonville, AR?

Nature trails are abundant in Bentonville, AR. It is a dream for hikers. There is a drive through Safari for the family. How many places can say they are home headquarters of Wal-Mart? Museums are abundant in this humble little town, as well. Not to mention a short drive to Fayetteville where the famous Razorback stadium lies. There is a lot to do in this Arkansas’s town. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a popular destination in Bentonville. Check out Beaver Lake while visiting, as well. A drive through Wild Wilderness drive through Safari is a great way to spend a day with the family. A short drive to neighboring Fayetteville houses the Arkansas Razorback football team. This is a must see for anyone visiting the area! Of course no visit would be complete without seeing the original five and dime that Sam Walton created Wal-Mart from. Bentonville has the old small town feel with plenty of things to see and do.
