Why you should go…

The Walmart Museum sits on the Bentonville town square in the dime store Sam Walton opened in 1950. Galleries trace how the company grew from a small-town store into a global retailer, and the renovated museum now spreads over two floors with interactive displays and a life-size hologram of Sam Walton that answers visitors' questions. You can browse Walton's 5&10 for classic finds and vintage displays, then stop at The Spark Café for butter pecan ice cream, Sam's favorite flavor.
