The Faulkner County
Historical Society was organized in April, 1959, with 42 charter
members. The purposes of the society included preserving the history of
the county through a wide variety of projects and activities, many of
which have been joint ventures with the Conway Chamber of Commerce and
other organizations interested in our county's heritage.
These have included the
following:
-
The publication of a
journal, "Faulkner Facts and Fiddlings," with from one to four
issues each year.
-
The erection of
historical plaques and markers at a dozen historical sites,
including the Cadron Settlement Park and the Toad Suck landing on
the Arkansas River.
-
The moving of an 18th
century log cabin to the courthouse grounds.
-
The publication of
"Faulkner County: Its Land and People," a 435-page hardbound volume
of articles and photographs on a variety of institutions and
families.
-
The publication of a
hardbound 912-page book containing a census of 120 Faulkner County
cemeteries (as of December 31, 1987).
-
Supporting the
development of the Faulkner County Museum, the replica of the Cadron
blockhouse, and various programs and exhibits on the history of the
county.
Current membership dues are
$15 per calendar year. The FCHS may be contacted by regular mail at 1501
