Coal Gap School
Coal Gap School

The Coal Gap School is a historic school building located near Garfield, Arkansas. The wood-frame school was built in 1928 to serve Benton County School District 105. The school served the rural area around the Glade community; it was built during a period of economic transition for the area, which had historically been an orchard farming community but was turning to grain farming and animal husbandry. In the 1960s, the creation of Beaver Lake separated the school from areas across the White River. The origin of Coal Gap School is unknown but the Benton County school supervisor's office records indicated that directors are listed as early as 1887. Land for the school was given for the price of one dollar by Edd Jennings to be used as a school, according to courthouse deeds. Years ago, a two-story version, was moved several yards south where it became a barn. The second floor never became the lodge that was intended. On January 20, 1949, both Coal Gap and Garfield agreed to dissolve Coal Gap School District No. 105 and annex it to the Garfield School District No. 114. Less than two months later, on March 5, 1949, the Garfield School District was dissolved and annexed to Rogers School District No. 30. Junior and senior high students from Glade and Garfield were to be bused into Rogers and the elementary grades remained in Garfield Schools. The school house was the center of the community and with its closing, students traveled through Prairie Creek to go to Rogers Schools, but as Beaver Lake rose the route was changed and the students rode to Garfield and then to Rogers to attend school. Because it was so far, the students were dismissed an hour early to make the long trip home. Coal Gap School was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1992.

Dinosaur World (Arkansas)
Dinosaur World (Arkansas)

Dinosaur World, earlier known as John Agar's Land of Kong and Farwell's Dinosaur Park, was a tourist attraction in Beaver, Arkansas. It was a theme park covering 65 acres (260,000 m2), which contained a hundred life-size sculptures of dinosaurs, cavemen, and other prehistoric creatures as well as the world's largest Noah's Ark Mural painted by local artist Will Johnson. The park closed in 2005. At one time it was the largest dinosaur park in the world. The park was started in 1967 when Ola Farwell hired Emmet Sullivan to build between six and ten life-size replicas of dinosaurs, and the park opened as "Farwell's Dinosaur Park". In the late 1970s the park was sold to Ken Childs and became "John Agar's Land of Kong", with a 40 feet (12 m) tall statue of King Kong, known as the "World's Largest King Kong", being built for it. The owner, a friend of film actor John Agar, received permission from Agar, who had appeared in the 1976 version of King Kong, to use his name in the name of the park. Many articles report that John Agar was either the owner or part owner, but he was never either one. Sculptor Emmet Sullivan also designed the dinosaur statues in Dinosaur Park and Wall Drug in South Dakota, and the Christ of the Ozarks statue in nearby Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Two local men, A. C. McBride and Orvis Parker handled the actual construction of the dinosaurs. Along with the nearby Beaver Dam, a few of the park's dinosaurs are featured briefly during the opening scenes of the 1969 horror movie 'It's Alive!'. The tyrannosaurus is featured in the 2005 film Elizabethtown and is shown on the film's cover.
