St. Francis County Museum Online Art Auction

The St. Francis County Museum online auction is to raise funds to support our local museum which showcases the history of St. Francis County in the historic Rush-Gates Home in Forrest City, Arkansas. The museum is free to the public and is filled with artifacts from our rich Native American history, the beginnings of the area as it has grown, changed and developed into the wonderful place we all call home. We specifically are looking to develop our oral history and these funds will assist in that goal.

The St. Francis County (AR) Museum is filled with artifacts, photographs, documents and much more that paint a picture of life over the years in St. Francis County Arkansas. Located in the Delta region of Arkansas, we have exhibits that highlight the diverse and wonderful culture that is our area. Admission is free. The museum is housed in the historic Rush-Gates Home, built in 1906 by Dr. J.O. Rush. Dr. Rush was a true "country" doctor, and often received interesting and unusual artifacts in trade for his services. His collection of Native American artifacts of the region are housed in the museum.
