Civil War battle of 1862 where the Confederacy tried to intercept the juncture of Union forces, resulting in a stalemate but conferring control of northwest Arkansas to the Union. It spans more than 900 acres, and is one of the most intact preserved American Civil War battlefields. Every 2 years on even-numbered years during the first weekend in December, the largest Civil War reenactment in Arkansas takes place.
The Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park is a state park located in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. It memorializes the Battle of Prairie Grove, fought on December 7, 1862, during the American Civil War. The battle secured U.S. Army control of northwestern Arkansas.

Reflections on Arkansas aviation history.
Home of Razorbacks baseball; in 2019 it was renamed from Baum Stadium.
Home to men's and women's basketball, holding over 19,000.
Home to two Razorbacks women's sports—volleyball in the fall, and gymnastics in the winter. While most college sports programs use the same arena for volleyball and basketball, that's not the case for the Hogs. After the basketball teams moved to Bud Walton Arena in 1993, the university decided to turn Barnhill into a volleyball-specific design (which could easily be adapted for gymnastics), and it's been home to those two sports ever since.
The Hogs' main football home, holding a little over 76,000. One or two home games a year are played at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
