Apples After Hours: A Sweet Slice of History

FREE After-Hours Museum Night

Take a juicy bite out of history during this special late-night opening of the museum! Join us for an evening of self-paced exploration as we stay open late just for you.

What to Expect

Explore the museum at your own pace with free, self-guided tours, and meet our friendly staff and volunteers who are ready to greet you and share fascinating apple facts—from orchards to modern pies. Discover how apples shaped Northwest Arkansas in the early 1900s and learn about the agricultural heritage that made our region famous.
