Moving to Stuttgart, Arkansas

by · Published · Updated

Stuttgart is located at 80 km east of Little Rock. It is the state’s headquarters for rice farming. It’s also great hunting and fishing territory, what with all the marshy land about. In fact, it claims the unusual title of Rice and Duck Capital of the World -which makes us hungry to visit. Visit the rice mill, rice paddies, White River National Wildlife Refuge and the Stuttgart Agricultural Museum, which contains an extensive collection of artifacts about area life in the 1800s.
