Thanks for Voting!


Thanks for casting your vote for the Old Jail! Today's the last day for voting, so you have one last chance to help us rise in the ranks. We are currently at #112 (up from 154)! Vote at http://www.arkansas.com/175

I ran across a wonderful video about the Underground Railroad. If you can spare five minutes, give it a look. You won't be disappointed. And please come see Historian Sue Edwards' Underground Railroad Quilt upstairs at the Old Jail Museum. It will inspire thoughts of the bravery of escaped slaves and the "station masters" who helped them find their way to freedom.

The woman pictured is Harriet Tubman, famous worker on the Underground Railroad who made 13 trips to the South and freed 70 slaves.
