Description
Fresh from a detailed remodel, the Walmart Vsitor Center (Walton Museum) in Bentonville, Arkansas, features the original Walton's 5 and 10, opened on May 9, 1950. A novel idea at the time, Sam Walton's store was the first self-service variety store in Arkansas. Here along North Main a self-guided tour leads visitors by shelves of retro toys, candies, and souvenirs. Offering a true feel of shopping in the 50s, the Welcome Center features original floor tiles and a 50s tin paneled ceiling. An exhibit including some of Sam Walton's personal effects and the Spark Cafe complete the tour of the interior. Outside you'll find Sam's original 1979 Ford F-150 pickup truck.
