A diamond in the rough! Free admission, some really well done exhibits, and a free audio tour as well. Make sure you make time if you have kiddos to hunt for arrowheads around the Tepee in front of the building!

I know I know... a museum about Walmart? But trust us, this is worth your time to see how one man's dream to bring lower prices to masses grew into the gigantic corporation it is now. Lots of fun touches here and worth the admission (which is Free!) Make sure you spend a little time in the restored "Five & Dime" storefront to get a feel for "Mr. Sam's" first store on the square.

The perfect place for a scoop of ice cream, milkshakes and retro fun! The spark is especially fun in the evenings where you can relax and people watch the square as people come and go.

It sounds clichéd, but this square is a slice of Americana right out of the Andy Griffith show crossed with great modern sites. Excellent restaurants, museums, shops, and more are within a block or two of the square, but even if you just want to relax and people watch, this is a great place to do it!
