The Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center spans over 20,000 square feet, showcasing the rich heritage and creative spirit of our community. Explore exhibits that bring Calico Rock’s unique stories to life—from the deck of the Ozark Queen steamboat and the shelves of the historic General Store to a hand-built Shawnee wickiup along the river.
Our Discovery Center invites visitors to uncover why Calico Rock became a natural hub for settlement and how early residents thrived in this rugged yet beautiful landscape.
The Windgate Art Gallery and E.C. Rodman Atrium display more than 300 works of art, ranging from local artisans to world-renowned masters like Alice Neel, Dale Chihuly, and Andy Warhol—whose pieces here represent the only Warhol works on display in a small town anywhere in America.
