On March 1, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon signed Public Law 92-237, effectively creating the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. It was the first designated "National River" and resulted from a hard fought battle as many Arkansans were hoping that dams would be built, leading to a bit of an economic boost. This was a seminal moment for the state and the nation, and it is one of the items covered in this collection from the University of Arkansas. A range of ephemera are included here, including fact sheets, bumper stickers, plans, and photographs. Visitors can go ahead and browse the collection or navigate to The River or The Ozark Society to get more background information. The film, "Opportunity for Arkansas,” should not be missed as it provides some great context to this whole project.
