Bringing Our Community Together
What We Do
Our primary focus is operating and supporting the Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center. The art, science and history museum will soon be united under one roof. To learn how you can help with our expansion visit our website.
The Foundation will soon open The Marketplace, a space where anyone with a dream of opening their own business will be able to do so with little cost or risk. To learn more about how you can be a part of The Marketplace, call 870-297-6100.
The Calico Rock Community Foundation publishes the Explore magazine, manages the Visitor Information Radio Station, and operates www.explorecalico.com.
Volunteers with the Storybook Project go into the North Central Unit of the Arkansas Department of Corrections to record inmates reading a book. The recordings and book are then sent to their children or grandchildren.
The Calico Rock Community Foundation will soon host a low-watt Visitor Information Radio Station to provide our travelers with important information about their visit to Calico Rock.
