Make a Pioneer Style Chalkboard to Take Home

Meeting Place: Picnic Day Use Area (picnic table nearest restroom)
Admission: Free
Many settlers and pioneers of the White River Region of Arkansas were independent people. If they didn't have something they needed, they would figure out a way to make it themselves. School slates were expensive and many families didn't have money, so they figured out a way to make their own, using supplies they had on hand. Join a park interpreter today to make your own chalkboard to take home with you. Since paint will be used, wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. #ARspringbreak
