The People of Arkansas 
welcome you!

The landscape of Arkansas is very diverse -
from the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains in the west,
to the only diamond crater in the United States in the southwest,
to the rice and soybean fields of the White River valley
and the rich Mississippi Delta cotton fields of the east,
to the rice fields and duck hunting waters of the southeast,
to the pine forests of the south
to the Arkansas River valley in the center of the state.

The men and women of the Natural State
are equally diverse.

No matter where life may take an Arkansan,
he or she always carries Arkansas in their heart
to share with the rest of the world.
And, if you should come to visit us here,
we will do our best to make you feel
like you’re at home here, too.
