One place we visited was the Jefferson General Store and I am glad we did. Walking around you felt you were returned to the 60s and we really enjoyed the place. Hopefully next time we come back to Texas we will return to Jefferson.

You can even pick up homemade honey butter, jams, jellies, pickled veggies, salsa & relishes, which can also be ordered online. My darling Southern Sister brought me back some of their Texas Pecan Pralines, which are made in house daily. Not gonna lie, I'm biased about Pralines and am loyal to Louisiana style. Oh boy, my opinion changed when I tried these. They were soft, creamy, & absolutely delightful. They also weren't overly sweet. I will be placing an online order soon along with some of their other products.

When you're done with the Museum there are many souvenirs for purchase such as Hats, Magnets, Shot glasses, Coffee cups, Bigfoot books, Shirts & much, much more. Also many fun photo opportunities inside & outside as well as a short 2 mile drive to the Boggy Creek sign. The former owner, Denny, is a super nice guy who sometimes can be found in the attached building & loves talking to people & tell the stories of past sightings & all things Southern Arkansas so ask the clerk if he's available, you won't regret talking to this wonderful man. Next time passing through Fouke Arkansas we absolutely will stop in again & again!

I made a day trip with my youngest to the infamous Monster Mart after watching videos of it on…read moreYoutube for the longest time. I was so happy I did. If you have any interest at all in cryptozoology you must make every effort to visit, check out the museum, and buy some cool souvenirs to help keep them in business. They in a really small town so any type of support is needed. But you will love it. I will be returning sooner than later because we went on a day of unexpected rain. I had wanted to explore Boggy Creek itself and the rain had subsided but clouds still looked menacing so I probably only spent half an hour in the shop but could've/should've spent much more time going thru their many artifacts. I also got to meet and chat with Dennis. Such a nice gentleman. He told me a couple stories connecting him to the Fouke monster. I'd love to hear more so that'll be for my return trip, Hopefully their lodging will be done by then so I can stay a couple days. They are located just 20 minutes south of Texarkana. We drove from the DFW area and it was only a 3 hour drive. Trust me, well worth it. Thank you for your hospitality and for keeping an American legend alive. Long live the Boggy Creek monster!

It was the last Sunday in April and we were heading back home from a COVID19 modified memorial…read moreservice when we needed to use the restroom. At the time we couldn't just stop at any fast food place since lobbies were closed to the public, same with many businesses. But you can always count on a gas station, right? Nope, totally wrong apparently. We pulled into the empty lot and pumped gas. Then my husband went in to use the restroom while I watched the dogs in the car. He was met with two people inside who ignored him, one may have been another customer, it was not clear. He made his way towards the restrooms to be met with a stack of boxes blocking entry and a home made sign saying 'no public restrooms'... at an Exxon!?!?!?! My husband repeated the sign as a question- no public restroom? The response was an unapologetic 'yep' and no suggestion on where to go instead. Great impression of Tatum. Reasonable expectations of a gas station when travelling (gas, restroom, at least a limited supply of caffeine and snacks) were not met. I am giving the second star because at least we were able to pump gas and get a receipt successfully (that's not always the case when travelling). I unfortunately was put in a position in the last couple of months to travel for family emergencies more often than not and this was the only gas station with an unavailable restroom, though the lack of explanation bothers me the most. My advice is to continue down a couple blocks to another station on the opposite side of the road or there is a larger travel center on the same side of the road, maybe 5 minutes outside of town.

They thought of everything, even an adjoining IHOP. The coffee and soda fountains seem to offer endless options. The pre-made salads and hot items like sausage on a stick and kolaches looked fresh. The ladies restroom only has four stalls, but they were clean and there was not a line when I was there. There is a baby-changing-station that appeared clean. After passing Kim's several times during our active weekend, I am glad we stopped to fill up on our way out of the area. This will be one of our stops on future visits to Pittsburg and Mt. Pleasant.

This is a pretty good mid-price gas station close to the 59 Eastex Highway where a lot of cops usually hang out - which I'm not really sure if that is a good thing or not but you can draw your own conclusions. Literally, here's a pencil and a sketch pad. Draw already. Prices are usually somewhere in the middle (like Jimmy Eat World, but not like Maren Morris ew, ok fine around here it's very like Maren Morris ew) and they have restrooms, are open 24 hours, all kinds of stuff inside, some of which is unusual and fun, along with all the usual convenience store immunities. I mean amenities. If you want immunity from prosecution though - maybe speak to the cops that are perennially in here.
