Arkansas State University Museum gave us a unique tour to learn history of Arkansas Agriculture

On Thursday, June 7, we visited the Arkansas State University Museum with our Journalism Seminar class.




Since 1936, the ASU Museum has been offering exhibits that entertain and inform, giving visitors and residents alike a taste of the rich cultural and natural history of Crowley Ridge and the Mississippi Delta.
Valerie Ponder, the tour guide in ASU Museum, made some explanation about the museum for us and told us some history of Arkansas Agriculture.






Exhibitions at the Arkansas State University Museum tell the story of prehistoric Arkansas from ancient fossils of tree-sized ferns, to seashells from the shallow ocean that covered the mid-West during the age of the dinosaurs, to the remains of Mammoths, Mastodons, and other extinct giants that once made the lowlands and forests of Arkansas their home.
For most of us, this is our first time to know the museum so clearly.It was a wonderful time for us, and we learned something from the tour. Dr. Fears said that if we are interested in the museum, we can come at any time.
