Just in time for summer travel, the Nevada County Depot and Museum has instituted new hours to allow for easier access for guests.

“We are so pleased that we can now be open on Fridays and Saturdays,” says museum director, Jamie Simmons. “Not only does this allow local residents more convenient times to visit, it also gives travelers another destination to visit on their journeys.”

The Nevada County Depot and Museum is in Prescott, Arkansas, less than an hour’s drive from Texarkana and Hope along I30. Hot Springs National Park and Crater of Diamonds State Park are both within a short, easy diving distance. The Depot is free to visit and is located at 403 West 1st Street South, on the edge of Prescott’s Commercial Historic District.

“This is the historic heart of Prescott and it continues to be,” adds Simmons. “From the Mural on Main Street to the historic courthouse, downtown Prescott is a great place to experience Prescott’s heritage and culture.”

The Nevada County Depot and Museum is a 5019(c)3 non-profit humanities organization dedicated to preserving and sharing Nevada County history through exhibits and programs offered year-round. The museum is located in the historic 1912 Iron Mountain Railroad Depot in Prescott, Arkansas. The museum also hosts historical reenactments at the Prairie D’Ane Battlefield each year.
