Welcome to the Grant County Museum
Website.
Our beautiful museum is located in Sheridan,
Arkansas. Sheridan is the county seat of Grant County. Sheridan is
located about 30 miles south of Little Rock, the state’s largest
city. The museum was established in 1965 and is an agency of the
county government. Its purpose is to interpret and preserve the
history of Grant County. This local history museum traces the
county’s development from prehistoric to the present times. In
addition, special gallery exhibits include the Arkansas Louisiana
Gas Company Museum, an automobile room, a Civil War Red River
Expedition room and the Richard Harrison collection of military
vehicles. We offer one of the very best museums in the nation and we
have more on display than most museums. Our World War II displays
are some of the most beautiful and expansive, including one of the
nation’s largest displays of military vehicles, compliments of Mr.
Harrison. You can visit Tuesday through Saturday and stroll through
our main facility, which is named in honor of Grant County native W.
R. (Witt) Stephens. You can visit Heritage Square, which
offers a view of historic structures relating to the county’s
history. General admission is free, but we encourage donations and
if you are a part of a group you will be charged a small fee. Call
in advance for details.
