Q: How much does it cost to attend the tour?

A: All tours offered by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program are free and open to the public.

Q: How are locations chosen for the Sandwiching in History tours?

A: The Sandwiching in History tours focus on properties in Central Arkansas and are chosen from the area's individually listed properties and properties within historic districts.

Q: How are locations chosen for the Walks Through History Tour?

A: The Walks Through History tours focus on properties outside of central Arkansas. We choose locations throughout the state primarily focusing on historic districts and groupings of individually listed National Register properties that lie in close proximity to one another. We strive to choose tour locations that have not been previously featured in the Walks series.

Q: When are tours held?

A: Sandwiching in History tours generally begin at noon on the first Friday of the month and Walks Through History tours generally begin at 11 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month, March through December. If the first weekend of the month includes a holiday, the tours may be moved to the following weekend. A complete tour schedule is available at http://www.arkansaspreservation.org/tours/default.asp.
