PICKLEBALL AND POTLUCK
Come on out and join the Bella Vista pickleball community on Saturday, June 13th at the Branchwood Recreation Center! Early play will begin around 9:30am, and tables and tents will be setup up by 11:30am. Bring a side dish or dessert to pass. If you don’t want to cook, fruit and beverages with ice are good as well! Food served as it becomes available with meat sandwiches by 1:00pm. Always a good idea to bring your own lawn or camp chairs as seating is limited. There is no cost to attend this event. The only "admission fee" is a side dish or dessert and a smile! The Museum will also have a table setup with information regarding the Pickle For Preservation 2 tournament in October, AND the ability for you to register on-site. We're looking forward to good food, community engagement and friendly competition!
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.
