The Museum of Native American History is a non-profit, handicapped-accessible museum of Native American history and culture in Bentonville, Arkansas. It offers free admission and a small arrowhead scavenger hunt for kids. The museum, founded by David Bogle, officially opened in 2006. It is home to a complete mammoth skeleton[1] as well as the Sweetwater Biface,[2] which is considered to be the thinnest flint artifact found. It houses a large collection of artifacts from across North and South America. The museum offers an experience for visitors that enables them to view multiple tribes throughout history. Starting in the paleo period and lasting up into the late 1800s. The museum doesn't focus on one specific tribe, instead portraying the broader history of Native Americans as a whole.
