Railroads of Siloam Springs

The Railroads of Siloam Springs exhibit was made possible by a grant from the Division of Arkansas Heritage, funded by your 1/8 cent conservation tax, Amendment 75.

The exhibit highlights the importance of the railroad to the growth of early Siloam Springs and continuing legacy on the town’s industries, culture, and community.

Troy Anderson Art Exhibit

Donated by the Daisye and Bennett Howell art collection, the exhibit is a collection of pieces created by a local Siloam Springs artist, Troy Anderson.

Anderson’s art is notably inspired by his Cherokee ancestry and Native North American culture. He is distinguished for his usage of acrylics, but has utilized other art forms such as graphics, sculptures, watercolors, and pastels. Anderson’s works often depict events in Native American history, renowned Native figures, wildlife, and Native American legends.
