Maynard Pioneer Museum

Maynard Pioneer Museum

The Maynard Pioneer Museum and Park is a museum and park located within Maynard, Arkansas. Established in 1979, the centerpiece is a log cabin dating to the late 19th and early 20th century, with original furnishings and historic newspaper clippings. There are also a variety of period photographs donated by local Randolph County residents. An annex was built in 1982, housing various examples of period furniture and other objects. A souvenir shop is at the back of the annex. Several other historic buildings are nearby.

Every year, the Maynard Pioneer Museum is home to a local tradition called "Pioneer Day" when the local Maynard High School sets up booths and games for the day. This day is generally looked forward to by the local students and families, who spend the day having fun and competing in various games, including a "You might be a redneck" joke competition and a Pet Parade where locals bring in their favorite pets to be judged.
