In 1974, a newly formed museum commission in Rogers (Benton County) leased space in this downtown building, the Bank of Rogers, to preserve and display city artifacts. The museum officially opened here in October 1975 and remained in the bank building until moving to its own facility in 1982. From humble beginnings, the Rogers Historical Museum has grown into one of the state’s most respected museums.
