The Walmart Museum opened in 1990 as the Walmart Visitor Center. The museum’s mission is to educate visitors about Walmart in an engaging, inspiring manner, and to serve the community. The museum includes a fully functional 5&10 shop, a gallery, and a café with a soda fountain. Walton’s 5&10 is where Walmart began, while the interactive exhibits in the gallery provide a look at the company’s history. Visitors can even watch a video of founder Sam Walton doing the hula hoop. The Spark Café Soda Fountain is a true small-town soda fountain shop, with ‘50s music and soda jerks, and recalls Sam’s love of ice cream. Museum tours are typically self-guided, but group guided tours are available with advance notice.
