Bella Vista in Bloom Returns and the Museum is included! From June 11 through July 11, Bella Vista will once again burst into color as Bella Vista in Bloom returns for its third season. Since January, local fiber artisans have been crocheting and knitting new flowers, stems, leaves, and whimsical surprises to join the pieces from previous years. Their creations will be displayed across five locations throughout the city, transforming each spot into a joyful “yarn bomb”.
Bella Vista Historical Museum Proposed Addition
Planning and fundraising for the proposed museum addition are underway! This rendering shows the proposed expansion going north from the present building, and enclosing the Settlers Cabin.
The objectives of the expansion project are:
-
To provide additional exhibit space to display more of the collection
-
To provide long-term protection to the Settlers Cabin and to the artifacts contained within
-
To provide additional climate controlled archival space for the Museum's large amount of paper records
-
To provide a space for functions that will allow the Museum to continue to function when the time arrives to replace the 1980's modular section of the Museum

The museum is currently looking for volunteers to work a once-a-month shift as docents (staff members). You can learn more about being a docent here.
