Thank you for your review. The staff strives hard to complete the mission of the museum and interpret from statehood in 1836 through World War II when tractors began to take the place of man and mule power. Bring more folks with you when you return and send more folks to the museum.

Thank you for your kind comments. The museum is located about 3 blocks north of the famous Cotham's Restaurant and 4 miles north of Toltec Mounds Archeology State Park. Also open March through October is the Plantation Settlement, another great time period attraction in the area. Come back to see new exhibits, special events and festivals throughout the year.

We visited The Plantation Museum as part of a day trip to Scott. It's small, but there are lots of things to see and some really nice hands-on demonstration. The park interpreter demonstrated how the seeds are removed from the cotton and how cotton is spun into yarn. We didn't go outside because of the rain.We decided to stay a while and make the craft of the day, which were pot holders. It took about an hour, cost a dollar and the kids really enjoyed it! You can also buy some cotton. We all had a good time, worth the visit!

We visited this museum as part of the Arkansas Civil War 150th Passport tour. We especially enjoyed the cotton gin exhibit and our interpreter Ms. White. The museum is housed in one long room, with several other exhibits in other buildings. There is also a patch of cotton in the yard where you can experience picking cotton. The museum was well put together with very interesting exhibits. I would recommend a stop.

If you are going to be anywhere near Scott take the time to visit this Museum. We really enjoyed the museum and exhibits. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great little gift shop too.

We had no idea this little museum existed until we began visiting the sites on the Civil War Trail in Arkansas. Situated on what used to be a large farm, the museum is located in what had once been a store in the little town of Scott, not far from Little Rock. Not knowing much about farming or what went into producing cotton, this shed a great deal of light on that. There is a cotton gin restored to what it appeared in the 1930's. There are several old tractors to marvel at and sometimes the Rangers there have a patch of cotton growing to show the stages of development. This is not one of those sites that you need to take a great deal of time seeing. There is a small fee for the museum, but affordable and worth it.

Not only a nice stop over for history, there is a great place to eat with Hub Cap hamburgers too.

An interesting living history museum in a pretty part of the state.

After a friendly visit to the Plantation Agriculture Museum was a fascinating experience! I highly recommend that all Arkansans visit this most informative and well displayed museum that showcases the mule powered farms of yesteryear up until the present mechanization of today's agriculture plantations of the delta. Well worth the three dollars! Roger Lunsford

The Plantation Agriculture Museum offers a historical view of agriculture in the state of Arkansas by examining nearby plantations, share-cropping, and cotton processing. Outdoor exhibits include antique steam engines and tractors and a small plot of growing cotton. A reconstructed building contains an authentic cotton gin used on a nearby plantation.Overall the museum was well planned and offers an insightful view of cotton production on the nearby plantations.
