Searcy ARAmerican Legion HutYou drive by this almost daily and think nothing about it but is one of Searcy's oldest and most historic buildings. It is on Race Street across from the White County Courthouse. It was constructed in 1939 with native fieldstone with funding support from Works Progre...

Captivating, isn't it?At times you see something that just grabs you. That is the way I was with this old portrait of a Searcy boy who passed away a few months ago. At the very bottom right it looks as if it is noted as 7 years old and then above that it definitely says Mitchell- E Smith......p...
Even this heavy piece of equipment looks tired. It has just helped remove another Searcy AR house.The property at 1307 E Market St. IS no longer. Well, perhaps the property IS but the house that sat on the property is gone. We knew it was coming because it was going further and further downhi...

We were discussing an old business in downtown Searcy AR a few days ago. The Lure Cafe was the subject of a blog. Reread it HERE. A very thoughtful and completely knowledgeable Searcy resident, Philip Williams, told us that his dad had a store that was just about two or three doors down from ...
This was a long time ago. Folks smoked. Folks had three digit phone numbers. E. H. Durham family owned or operated The Lure Cafe in downtown Searcy across from the Mayfair Hotel. This little matchbook cover was on ebay and I added it to my collection. I also found an old blog that I'd done a...

Go back through your memories? Do you ever do that? I just dug out an old folder from 1995. My husband was president of Searcy Country Club and we did a little history search regarding the club. We interviewed the men and women who were the ones who began the club, from having the idea to buy...
See anyone you know?These beautiful kids attended Mrs. Joe Knox's kindergarten class in 1954. In 1967 they were graduating from Searcy High School and this congratulations page must have come from Mrs. Knox because it was in the advertising section. 1967 is important to me because that is when ...
