  • A visit to the town of Murfreesboro, Arkansas - home to Crater Of Diamonds State Park - to do some shopping and sightseeing. Then after helping a snapping turtle cross the road, we check out the Little Missouri River before taking a short drive through Nashville, Arkansas to admire the old storefronts.
    Places we check out include Caddo Antiques, Hawkins Variety Store, Pike County Court House, Dino Dig, Shamrock Motel, KA-DO-HA Indian Village, and Murfreesboro Flea Market.

    This is such a great video! Thanks for making this!
    I grew up in M'boro. I learned to swim and ski in Lake Greeson, to fish in the Little Missouri River, and to hunt in the Ouachita National Forest!
    I spent a lot of time in Hawkins Variety Store reading comic books and drinking Dr. Nut soda (back then you had to pay a 5-cent deposit if you took the bottle out of the store)! Back then, the stairs to the upper area at Hawkins were closed and it was used for storage. The comic books were at the foot of the stairs, which makes it so neat to have the posters on the wall there now!
    I was privileged to be photographed at the diamond mine with classmates to be included in a 6th grade reader named "Tiger Stripes" (which my wife read when she was in 6th grade!!) and then filmed there with classmates to appear on an episode of Ripley's Believe it or not in 1983!
    Ka-Do-Ha, while offensive to some, helped to cement in our young minds that we weren't the first people to occupy this land.
    When we first moved there in 1969, our family helped start a church that met in the lobby of the hotel there (now called the Ireland)... I believe it was the Conway Hotel back then. The church is now located on HWY 27 just east of town.
    As kids, we would leave our houses in the summer mornings on our bikes and often not return until dinner! Murfreesboro was, at the time, a wonderful small town in which to grow up! I often long for the innocence of those days!

    I grew up in that town. I loved it. Small, cozy, friendly, and everybody knew everybody. There was no crime there. Thanks for the memories!

    That was very thoughtful of you and what a good dad to teach your little girl how important life is.

    I wonder what happened to the big crystal that was right in front of the courthouse. The shamrock motel was spooky!!! Great place to spend the night! I helped refurbish it and the owner taught me how to play the piano in turn. Again, GREAT memories.

    I live there and yes there was some crime but very rarely there was a break in at a school.
