For our , we'd like to pay homage to a woman who contributed quite a lot to us Arkansas adventurers. By a lot, we're referring to a 160 acre lot. Granny Henderson was one of the last private owners of the land that now comprises the 95,000 acre . While Granny didn't exactly give up her land without a fight, and her story may not have the happy ending she desired, we are forever grateful for her contribution/sacrifice. Granny lived her life in a way that, and in a place where, many people today can only experience in a dream—but not us. We can live that dream, if just for a weekend, thanks to folks like Eva Barnes Henderson.
