So this was nice. The marker stands at the street in front of a beautiful two story home in the Paris historic district. It was built in the Victorian style and still retains much of those original design elements. The marker reads, "Alabama native Henry William Lightfoot, a Confederate veteran of Forrest's Cavalry, came to Paris in 1872 as a law partner of Sam Bell Maxey. Two years later, he married Maxey's adopted daughter, Dora Rowel Maxey, and soon the young couple had this house built across the street from the Maxey home. Built of lumber hauled from Jefferson, its outstanding architectural feature is a double gallery decorated with Eastlake-style millwork. Lightfoot served as a state senator and as chief justice of the 5th Court of Civil Appeals. He died while traveling in Alaska in 1901, and his heirs later sold the house to the Rodgers Coleman family, early preservationists who oversaw restorations of the house in the 1950s. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1965." The marker was erected in 1965 by the Texas Historical Commission and is marker number 12012. There is a sign indicating that the home is occasionally open to the public for tours but today was not that day. [Review 725 of 2024 - 485 in Texas - 21756 overall]

I hustled our dog to the cooler grass which unknowingly to me was supposed to be pet-free. (Where we parked there were no similar signs so that was confusing.) We didn't go inside the visitor center because dogs were not allowed. My oldest went to use the restroom and walked straight back out declaring, "There are way too many old ladies waiting in a line. We can just go, Mom. I can wait." Lol. This place makes for a nice photo with the large "Arkansas: The Natural State" sign out front. Easy access for all size vehicles exiting and entering back onto the eastbound Interstate 30.

There were lots of brochure and maps available for people visiting the state. The real gem at this welcome center was the staff behind the counter. This lady asked me where I was going and what I had brought me to the state. I told her my plans were go to hiking in hot springs and just go with the flow. Yall she brought me everything that had to do with hot springs, hiking in the nearby area and she gave me some cool "hiking in Arkansas" sticker that were only given out to hikers! I felt so welcome by her and that friendly hospitality was the same by everyone I encounter during my trip to Arkansas. The bathrooms were clean and pretty empty when I visited however, they could use an upgrade and the lighting could be better. Overall good bathrooms. There were some vending machines and picnic tables outside but did not stop to hang out since I had to get back on the road. The "natural state" not only had beautiful hiking trails but it also had some many people with beautiful souls. I will for sure be back in the future.

The Audie Murphy Museum is one of those landmarks you pass through Greenville off I-30. This is a wonderful informative museum. A very special place that lends a glimpse into the life of not only a hero that needs to be remembered & the most decorated soldier of WWII. It features one of the largest privately owned collections of U.S. veteran and actor Audie Murphy. There is a tribute wall to those currently serving the military from this area. I'm very glad we stopped. The Cotton Museum is interesting which I thoroughly enjoyed for my father retired from the Cotton Council. Much of the museum preserves the local history too. The museum just added a rare collection of personal items that belonged to Desmond Doss (Hacksaw Ridge), Gen. George C. Marshall, Gen. George S. Patton, Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, Audie Murphy, Adm. John D. Bulkeley, Maj. Richard I. Bong, and Cmdr. David McCampbell. I really enjoyed the exhibit. Highly recommend, you won't regret it!!
