NEA - Project REACH Homecoming Event



Descendants, historians, and all who are interested in Arkansas History…The Project REACH Homecoming Event will be held Saturday, May 11, 2019 from 9:00-2:00 at the Rice-Upshaw House and the Looney Tavern in Dalton, AR.  This event is open to the public. 

Living historians Randall Watts and his wife Kristyn Watts will transform the Looney Tavern into an 1800’s layout.  They will demonstrate games, militia drills and musket firing.  Mick Haven, interpreter at the Powhatan Historic State Park will be at the Rice-Upshaw House doing live demonstrations of historic cooking, candle making and children’s games.  The Metro City Singers, a travelling group out of St. Louis, MO, will be performing at the Rice-Upshaw House pavilion.  Tours of both sites will be given periodically throughout the day, and lunch will be available from 11:30-1:00.  There is no cost for the event, but there is probably a cost for the food.   Educators are encouraged to bring their families for a fun-filled day!  For more information call the REACH project coordinator at BRTC, Holly Looney, at (870) 248-4189.  The address for the Rice-Upshaw House is 4600 Hwy. 93, Pocahontas, AR 72455.  It is located approximately 20 miles northwest of Pocahontas.
