On behalf of our team, I would like to welcome you to Fayetteville! If you
are a first-time visitor, you’re in for a treat. Everywhere you look, you’ll
see breathtaking scenery, a thriving art scene and fun entertainment for
residents and travelers.
As a business owner and long-time resident, I can’t think of any place
I’d rather be than Fayetteville. I’m excited to serve on the Advertising &
Promotion Commission because the city means so much to me and my
family. My restaurant is one of the many eclectic eateries around town, and
I’m proud to be part of this growing culinary community.
I could spend all day talking about why Fayetteville is so great. But go ahead
and turn the page and find out more. Better yet, explore our city in person
and really see it for yourself. We look forward to showing you our home.
WELCOME FAYETTEVILLE GREETING
WE’RE GLAD YOU’RE HERE!

THE MURAL OF THE STORY
Fayetteville prides itself on eclectic art
and beautiful scenery, and, in the mind of
muralist Jason Jones, those two attributes
are fully integrated. His colorful murals,
often inspired by nature, add an element
of surprise to the city’s public spaces.
From a swinging bear on a cherry
blossom tree to lively ladybugs crawling
on electrical boxes, he’s the brush behind
those works of art and many more, but his
first mural was outside a video store in his
hometown of West Fork, Arkansas. He
painted a movie-themed mural and was
paid in video and game rentals.
Jason studied fine art at the University
of Arkansas, intending to go into graphic
design, but ended up getting an emphasis
in painting. Today, his murals are found
both indoors and out — everything from
12
PROFILE | 800-766-4626
an ocean theme on a child’s bedroom wall
to whimsical pieces spanning the size of
billboards to Razorback-themed scenes
on the University of Arkansas campus.
He often blends his work into the
background, especially when painting
outdoors. “I don’t want my work to
compete with the surroundings,” he said.
“I want it to fit in and add to it.”
He said Fayetteville is the ideal setting
for public art, and the residents openly
admire it. “While painting the ‘Enjoy
Local’ swinging bear, I had so many
people come up to me who were proud of
the public art and everything that’s going
up,” he said. “There’s just a great support
for it, and a real sense of pride here. It’s a
really great place to be an artist, and it’s
been good to me.”

FIND OUR PASTIMES
From its beginning as a home to the
Osage tribe to becoming the Washington
County seat, Fayetteville has a fascinating
history to discover. Originally called
Washington, the postmaster general
ordered the city to be renamed because
a town with that name already existed in
the state. Fayetteville was chosen because
two of the commissioners were from
Fayetteville, Tenn. Learn more about our
city’s past when you visit. Here are some
highlights to get you started:
ARCHIBALD YELL
In front of the old Washington County
Courthouse, a plaque honors Archibald
Yell, Fayetteville’s first senator and the
second governor of Arkansas.

Founded by Robert Graham in 1850, the
college was the first to award collegiate
degrees in the state before burning to the
ground during the Civil War.
BATTLE OF FAYETTEVILLE
On April 18, 1863, Confederate forces
launched an attack on Union forces in
the heart of downtown Fayetteville.

The Union came away victorious in this
battle, one of the last engagements of the
Civil War in Arkansas. At the southeast

OLD MAIN
416 Campus Drive
The University of Arkansas’ most
well-known and beloved building was

lots, filling adjacent hotels and boarding
houses with smoke.
THE WALKER-STONE HOUSE
207 W. Center St.
Built in the late 1840s, it is a wellpreserved example of the Georgian and
Federal styles of brick houses often found
in the eastern United States. This was the

out of native stone that was hand-cut and
hauled to the site by ox-drawn wagons
from West Fork, 15 miles south.

WASHINGTON-WILLOW
HISTORIC DISTRICT
230 W. Center St.

John Ridge.
206 W. Center St.
Now Moore’s Funeral Home, the home
was built in 1857 by Henry Rieff. It was

Be sure to check out the new “Clinton

the famous handshake between a young
Bill Clinton and then-President John F.
Kennedy. And don’t miss the First Ladies
Garden featuring the favorite flower of
each first lady.
Through photographs, documents and
videos, you’ll learn about a part of the
Clintons’ life that many never have – a
time that isn’t about being president,
but about being a future president. The

THE CIVIL WAR’S IMPACT
The Battle of Fayetteville had a
significant impact on the history and
culture of Arkansas. On April 18, 1863,
it was fought on the grounds of the
Headquarters House, a Greek Revivalstyle house that served as a command
post for both armies at different times
during the war. The building now houses
a museum and the Washington County
Historical Society.
Nearby are the Confederate Cemetery
on East Rock Street and the National
Cemetery, one of the oldest military
cemeteries in the South, on
Government Street. A short drive away is
the Pea Ridge National Military Park.
The Battle of Prairie Grove, fought
on December 7, 1862, in Washington
County, was one of the last and
bloodiest battles in Arkansas, with Union
forces prevailing. This historic battle is
commemorated with the Prairie Grove
Battlefield State Park, an 840-acre park
established in 1908 as a memorial to the
battle and to educate visitors about its
past. The park hosts the state’s largest
battle reenactment during even-numbered
years in December. Admission is free.

DICKSON STREET DURING BIKES, BLUES & BBQ
#FAYINSIDER2016
@DJSTORMS
EVERY HOG HAS ITS DAY
One weekend each fall, Dickson Street
starts to rumble as motorcycles descend
upon Fayetteville for Bikes, Blues &
BBQ. The annual festival began in
2000 and has become one of the largest
family-friendly motorcycle rallies in the
United States.
The first Bikes, Blues & BBQ began in
2000 as a charity poker run event with
more than 200 riders, and the event has
grown rapidly through the years. In 2015,
more than 400,000 people attended
the rally from all over America as well
as Europe, Australia, South and Central
America and Africa. The festival isn’t
only for those riding in on two wheels —
there’s also the official Arkansas State
BBQ Championship, live music and
plenty of vendors.
And, as the country’s largest non-profit
rally, the good times at Bikes, Blues &
BBQ are for a good cause. In its lifetime,
event organizers have donated more
than $750,000 to more than 25 local
charities. To see a schedule of the year’s
events, visit bikesbluesandbbq.org.

IT’S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG
At the Arkadia Retrocade, moms and
dads can relive their arcade days on
games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong,
and even kids with fancy PlayStation
setups can enjoy the timeless strategies
of games like Tetris and Asteroids.
In short, families can spend an afternoon
bonding over the classic, stand-up
arcade machines.
And the games are straight from the
’80s. Owner Shea Mathis finds and
collects vintage, out-of-service machines,
fixes them up and installs them in his
Retrocade, located in the Evelyn Hills
Shopping Center.
Admission is $5 — cash only — and covers
you for all-day gameplay. No quarters
necessary. The Retrocade also has a
refreshment area and couches in the
back for breaks. Party rooms with board
games are available for rent, and patrons
are welcome to bring outside food and
alcohol into the facility. Find out more on

LARRY FOLEY
THE ARTS
FINDING FORGOTTEN HISTORY
Larry Foley lives to uncover the untold
stories of Arkansas. For example, did you
know Babe Ruth trained in Hot Springs?
Or that the Buffalo River was the first
designated National River in the U.S.?
Foley has spent more than a decade
digging up the state’s forgotten
history, bringing stories to life through
documentaries. He’s garnered five Emmy
awards and 13 nominations in the process.
“I’m always looking for a good story. As
Mark Twain said, ‘I love a good story well
told, that’s why I’m forced to tell them
myself,’” he said, with a laugh. “Because
I’m based in Arkansas and I am an
Arkansan, I relish telling stories that are
good stories, and have escaped
general knowledge.”
He studied broadcast journalism at
the University of Arkansas, where he
42
THE ARTS | 800-766-4626
now works as a professor. When his
documentaries air nationally, they are
often responsible for jumps in tourism.
Foley’s documentary, “The Buffalo
Flows,” preceded a record-setting
increase in canoe rentals the next year.
“Somehow or another I’ve carved out a
career telling these stories. It has been
and still remains to be great fun for me,”
Foley said. “If people get half as much
entertainment out of the stories I tell, as
I get in telling them, then I’ve really done
something.”
But Fayetteville will always feel like home
to Foley. “I’ve lived all over Arkansas, and
I consider myself an absolute dyed in the
wool Arkansan,” he said. “That old story
about you can’t go home. Well, you can
go home, and Fayetteville is home
for me.”

Fayetteville has to offer.
Discover the eclectic sounds of

even be here when you visit.
And Fayetteville believes a great
entertainment district should also be
alive during the daylight hours. Spend
your morning wandering through the
Dickson Street Bookshop or have a
relaxing lunch on your choice of patios.
Enjoy an afternoon dessert or stroll the
Downtown Square gardens. Sit and watch

Still not convinced? See for yourself when
you visit. It’s hard to miss the center of

Songwriter Joshua Vest, a sophomore

creative writing at the University of
Arkansas, is the band’s founder. “I still
consider The Airplanes to be a little
bedroom project, which grew into
something more,” he said. “The first
couple of years, it was just recording
little songs on a four-track at my house,
and eventually the need to play shows
arose, and that’s when I pulled together
the band members.”
The now four-person band has seen a
few tracks scooped up for commercial
use, including “A Summer Daydream,”

which serves as the backdrop for the
latest round of promotional videos for
the city.
He says the personality of Fayetteville
influences his music in subtle ways.
“I try to create fun music — music as an
escape — and with Fayetteville, there’s
something familiar about it, but there’s
something different, too,” he said. “It’s a
small hometown, but it still offers a lot of
different activities and subcultures, and
all of those subcultures are respected.
And that’s why I’m drawn to it. I love
living in Fayetteville.”

ROOTS FESTIVAL CELEBRATION
FAYETTEVILLE’S NEWEST
MUSIC FESTIVAL
Originally a one-day event when it started
in 2010, the Fayetteville Roots Festival is
now a must-see for Arkansans and out-ofstaters alike. The annual music event, held
in late August, spans four days, serving
as an urban festival celebrating folk music
and food. Dozens of musicians perform
on indoor and outdoor stages throughout
downtown.

NIGHTLIFE | 800-766-4626
In previous years, the Fayetteville Roots
Festival has seen big names like Fiona
Apple, Lucinda Williams, Del McCoury
Band, John Prine and Guy Clark. Each
year, the names keep getting bigger. The
music often starts early in the morning
and always continues past midnight in the
lounges and bars.
The Fayetteville Roots Festival is a treat
for the taste buds, too. Restaurants
like Greenhouse Grille host musicians
throughout the festival allowing patrons
to enjoy music with their meal. Festival
organizers also work to keep the event as
earth-friendly as possible.

TRAVEL THE GREEN WAY
Stretching across several cities in Northwest Arkansas is the Razorback Regional
Greenway, the longest system of interconnected trails in the state. The 36-mile biking
and pedestrian trail begins in north Bentonville and ends in south Fayetteville.
It was built, in part, to promote active lifestyles and healthy living in Northwest
Arkansas. The trail gives residents and visitors a space to run, bike, jog or simply enjoy a
leisurely stroll in the beautiful outdoors.
The greenway also promotes alternative transportation by connecting an incredible
number of public spaces – shopping areas, art and entertainment venues, schools,
residential areas, historic sites, parks, playgrounds, hospitals, the U of A campus, several
corporate headquarters and more – allowing people to forgo their cars and walk or bike
to their destinations instead.
The Razorback Regional Greenway is 20 years in the making, and with that vision
now realized, it gives bikers and pedestrians a safe space to call their own. Be sure to
navigate part (or all!) of the Razorback Greenway’s 36 miles for yourself.

CONSERVING OUR NATURAL AREAS
The Fayetteville Natural Heritage
Association (FNHA) is dedicated to
conserving open space and green
space, and believes in identifying and
protecting Fayetteville’s most important
natural areas. Furthermore, FNHA
wants to foster, encourage and facilitate
natural-area preservation projects
within neighborhoods currently facing
development.
Arkansas into a sanctuary for birds.
Birding in Fayetteville and the Ozark
Mountains has become an extremely
popular activity. More than 200 species
of birds make their home in the Ozarks
for some part of the year, while many
birds live here year-round. The Ozark
Mountain hardwood forests, pine forests
and streamsides provide a wonderful
habitat for large species of birds.
FNHA was formed in January 2003
when the Western Methodist Assembly
was preparing to sell Mount Sequoyah
Woods. With the help of the city of
Fayetteville, FNHA committed to raising
$300,000 of the $1,300,000 selling price.
The city acquired Mount Sequoyah
Woods, and FHNA followed through on
its fundraising commitment.
Bring your binoculars and your journal
and get ready to experience bird watching
at its finest. Terra Studios is the home of
the famous “Bluebird of Happiness” and
a beautiful place to enjoy bird watching
in all seasons. Or enjoy birding by the
beautiful water at Lake Fayetteville, a
fabulous habitat for birds and wildlife, and
at Woolsey Wetland Prairie, west of town.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
A LEGACY ETCHED IN STONE
As the state’s flagship institution of higher
education, the University of Arkansas
is a major source of pride for both
Fayetteville and the state. Outstanding
students and their notable achievements
in multiple areas of study speak for
themselves.
Founded in 1871, the university is
now among the top 50 colleges and
universities in the country as measured by
the number of national merit scholars in
attendance. More than 26,000 students
and 4,200 faculty and staff call the
U of A home.
The state’s only major research university
offers a high-caliber education with 222
undergraduate and graduate programs
in nine schools. Nationally, the U of A
is ranked within the top 150 research
universities, yet the institution continues
to hold a place among America’s 100 Best
College Buys.
Overall, the university ranked in 129th
place among national public universities
out of nearly 1,800 schools in the 2015
edition of U.S. News and World Report’s
America’s Best Colleges. More than just
a school, students at the University of
Arkansas have truly formed a community
within Fayetteville. More than 50 percent
of the university population participates
in one of many registered student
organizations.
The School of Architecture, the School
of Law, the graduate program for
rehabilitation education and research, and
graduate programs for both biological
and industrial engineering all hold national
rankings. Since 2005, the Sam M. Walton
College of Business has consistently
been ranked in the top 25 public business
schools.
Semester after semester, season after
season, academically and athletically, the
University of Arkansas continually sets the
mark for high achievement in Arkansas
and nationwide.
In addition to academics, the campus
overflows with beauty and history.
Beginning at the front steps of Old
Main, every graduate’s name is etched
into Senior Walk, a pathway stretching
more than five miles. Among the alumni
listed are Robert Mauer, inventor of fiber
optic technology; Jerry Jones, owner of
the Dallas Cowboys; J. Walter Keller,
developer of the heart pacemaker; and
Ricardo Martinelli, the former president
of Panama.
To learn more about the University of
Arkansas visit uark.edu.
UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS | 800-766-4626
Arkansas has a long tradition of backing
the men and women Razorback athletes,
whether it’s football, baseball, basketball,
volleyball or any of the other eight sports
at the University of Arkansas. Die-hard
fans show up rain or shine to cheer on
the Hogs.
The first team formed on campus and
the flagship of the sports programs is
the Razorback football team. More than
a century ago, the Arkansas football
team, then called the Arkansas Cardinals,
returned from defeating LSU and as
the legend goes, coach Hugo Bezdek
proclaimed his team “played like a wild
band of razorback hogs.” The name was
adopted and the rest is history.
Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium,
where the Hogs take the field for each
home game, holds 76,000 football fans –
quite a bit more than the original stadium,
which held a mere 300 fans. One
Razorback game a year is played at War
Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
There are many unique traditions that run
deep throughout the athletic programs,
like the famous Hog Call “Woo Pig
Sooie,” the live mascot Tusk and the
University of Arkansas fight song. The
hog call and fight song resonate at all
Razorback games and events, and Tusk
can be seen on the field during each
football game. Arkansas is one of the few
universities that maintains a live mascot
program, but Razorback supporters
young and old are fans of Tusk and are
the primary reason that the tradition
continues today.
Fans of the university and visitors to the
area attend sporting events year-round as
the school currently fields 17 total varsity
teams — seven men’s and 10 women’s
— in 12 sports. The men’s varsity sports
include baseball, basketball, cross country,
golf, tennis, track and field, and of course,
football; the women’s varsity sports
include basketball, cross country, golf,
gymnastics, soccer, indoor and outdoor
track, swimming and diving, tennis,
softball and volleyball.
The Razorback athletic programs have
received numerous awards throughout
the years. In addition to a national
NCAA basketball championship, other
Razorback sports teams have won more
than 40 national championships and
numerous conference championships.
The Razorback football team has won
11 conference championships and had
12 players and coaches elected to the
National College Football Hall of Fame.
And, in 2014, the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame added former
Arkansas head coach Nolan Richardson
— who ended his career with the
Razorbacks with a 390-170 record — to
its ranks.

SCENIC BYWAYS
HIT THE ROAD
BOSTON MOUNTAINS SCENIC LOOP/U.S. 71 AND I-49
Two very different roads crossing the highest part of the Ozark Mountains combine to
make the Boston Mountains Scenic Loop, one of the most interesting driving tours and
most scenic motorcycle rides.
U.S. 71 rises and falls, twists and turns through the Boston Mountain range, allowing
travelers to intimately experience the rugged terrain. Along the way are small mountain
towns, roadside farms, antique shops and travel courts.
Not far to the west, I-49 (formerly I-540) defeats the mountains, streams, valleys and
ridges with several soaring bridges and a tunnel carrying the speeding traffic of a super
highway.
Both routes offer impressive mountain vistas. The soaring highway of I-49 is sufficiently
broad to give those traveling 70 mph a good look at the mountaintops. The Boston
Loop on U.S. 71 offers many good locations to pull off the road and commune with the
countryside.
ROUTE: The Boston Mountains Scenic Loop consists of two state-designated scenic
byways, U.S. 71 and I-49, both of which run between Alma and Fayetteville.
LENGTH: 35 miles
ATTRACTIONS: Arkansas Wine Country, Devil’s Den State Park, Ft. Smith National
Historic Site, Ozark Highlands Trail
PIG TRAIL SCENIC BYWAY
The rugged and forested Boston Mountains region of the Ozark Mountains provides
the setting for this route, which creates a spectacular view of foliage during spring,
summer and fall. Spring wildflowers and brilliant autumn foliage make the route
especially popular during those seasons. The route crosses the Mulberry River and the
165-mile Ozark Highlands Trail.
ROUTE: Arkansas 23 from the south boundary of the Ozark National Forest to its
intersection with Arkansas 16 at Brashears.
LENGTH: 19 miles
ATTRACTIONS: Mulberry River Float Trips, Eureka Springs, Terra Studios
