In 1927, famed author Ernest Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer of Piggott (Clay County). About a year after their marriage, she and her new husband traveled to Arkansas, their first of several trips, to visit her family in Piggott. While visiting, Hemingway claimed the barn shown here as his private writing studio, and he penned portions of his novel A Farewell to Arms there.
