Housed in a series of historic buildings in Scott, the Plantation Agriculture Museum documents Arkansas's rich cotton agriculture history from statehood in 1836 through World War II and preserves Arkansas’s farming history. Originally built as a general store in 1912, the main museum features an array of educational exhibits that interpret the cotton industry in Arkansas, including how cotton was grown, picked, and processed to when agricultural practices became mechanized. Presentations include full-sized mules and wagon on the scales in the Dortch Gin Exhibit, a seed warehouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a historic tractor exhibit.
