PRESCOTT – Entergy presented a check to the Nevada County Depot Museum in Prescott for $847 on Thursday. Presenting the check was Blake Haynie, the customer service manager for the region. He was accompanied by Eric Jackson, a supervisor for the company, and Jessie Carmen from the Arkadelphia office. Haynie said the company always tried to give back to the community and of his counterparts and supervisors supported the idea.

On hand to receive the check were Jamie Simmons, the Museum Director, Paul Ridgell, President of both the Museum and Prairie D’Ane, and Eddie Daniel, Museum Board Member.

This gift will pay for an interpretive brochure for Prairie D’Ane including a map for a self-guided tour. It makes the prairie much more user-friendly allowing visitors to enjoy it at their own pace and enjoy the history without having to request a personal guide.

Simmons talked about it allowing the museum to further its mission of historic preservation. The museum is in the process of prairie restoration. There will be biking trails and interpretive panels.
