Twelve acres of gardens include a Japanese-style garden, a rose garden, and a French parterre. Please call or visit our website for museum hours and tour information.
You may purchase the self-guided tour when you arrive onsite at their Visitor Center. Just mention that you are part of the Fulbright conference, and you will receive a discounted ticket of $12 per person!

 Film – “Fulbright: The Man, the Mission, and the Message”
Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright founded the international exchange program that bears his name, but he also opposed landmark civil rights legislation.
To better understand his complex legacy, we invite you to view this respected documentary, produced by W. Drew Perkins in 2006, and then use the rest of the conference to discuss with friends and Fulbrighters.
We will provide a printed resource sheet with additional information and readings. All resources are included in the conference app under Friday’s “Schedule” > Film – “Fulbright: The Man, the Mission, and the Message”
