|
In 1925, a 40-square-mile field in Smackover was the focal point of one of the wildest mineral booms in North America. The Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources, sometimes referred to as the "Oil and Brine Museum", focuses on this industry and its effects on the local area.
The Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources has working equipment displays, and exhibits with special emphasis on petroleum and brine recovered for bromine extraction.
Visitors to the Museum of Natural Resources can visit a 1920s boomtown, explore a core shaft, view an undersea diorama to learn the origin of oil or try their hand at drilling for oil.
