Take a tour of Arkansas History! Using a wide variety of historical photographs, Tom Dillard, historian and retired archivist, will lead the class in a visual tour of Arkansas places--and in the process learn about the people who built the state. Among the people discussed will be the standard political and government leaders, but others who will be studied are artists, athletes, business innovators, writers, and entertainers to name a few.
