About the Book:
Arkansas defies expectations—where else can you dig for diamonds, float the nation’s first national river, reflect in a glass chapel built deep in the woods, and drink sake made from Arkansas-grown rice and local thermal spring water? The Natural State seamlessly blends outdoor adventure with rich cultural experiences, offering far more than its stunning landscapes suggest. 100 Things to Do in Arkansas Before You Die guides you to memorable destinations for food, music, recreation, history, shopping, and entertainment.
About the Book:
While Fayetteville may be best known as the home of the University of Arkansas and the Arkansas Razorbacks, the city complements those offerings with broad cultural experiences and outdoor pursuits. Tucked within its rolling, wooded landscape are incredible unexpected experiences, both rural and urban. 100 Things to Do in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Before You Die offers visitors and locals alike ideas and itineraries for food, shopping, recreation, history, music and entertainment.
