Bentonville Field Guide
Four books about Bentonville, AR
Two ways people actually arrive. One has never been past the airport. The other is back for another set of meetings, or another weekend, and does not need the square explained again. The first volume is for both: how a county seat became this city. The fourth is for planning, with the hours for your dates.

How these read
Chapters, not posts
Each volume is written to be read from the first page to the last. The contents page lets you jump, and the bar under the header shows how far you are.
Notes in the margin
Hours, addresses, and dates sit beside the text, so the paragraphs can tell you what to do and why.
Questions at the end
Most chapters close with a few questions or a list to check before you leave. Answer the questions first, then open the answers.
The museum, coffee, and restaurant pages are the directories. These books are the order to use them in.
