Plantation Agriculture Museum, History museum in Scott, Arkansas.
The Plantation Agriculture Museum occupies multiple historic buildings across 14.5 acres near Horseshoe Lake, displaying thousands of agricultural artifacts from Arkansas farming history.
The museum building began as a general store in 1912, constructed by Conoway Scott Jr., before Robert Dortch and his daughter transformed it into a museum during the 1960s.
The exhibits present detailed information about cotton production processes and document the experiences of plantation owners, sharecroppers, and agricultural workers in Arkansas.
Located at 4815 AR Highway 161 South, the museum operates Wednesday through Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM.
The Dortch Gin Exhibit features an operational 1916 cotton gin system, demonstrating the complete process of separating cotton fibers from their seeds.
