Cabin Fever Reliever
The Shiloh Museum’s second annual “Cabin Fever Reliever,” a celebration of the New Year, will be Saturday at the Springdale museum. The free event will feature music, theatrical scenes, storytelling, a new documentary film and history discussions. Members of the Heritage Trail Partners will discuss some of the lesser-known historic sites on the Trail of Tears, Butterfield Stagecoach route and also Civil War troop movements in Washington and Benton counties.
