Rogers, Arkansas, rich in railroad history, is a marvelous place to base a historical adventure. I'll talk about the city's creation, about a man with a vision who created a dream resort along the White River nearby, and a famous air rifle that's been referenced in one of our most beloved Christmas movies. I'll also share with you three great restaurants, a magical mill by a bridge, a place where you can find almost any flavor of jam or preserve you've ever dreamed of, and a cool place to stay while you're here.
