Wynne Arkansas - The City with a Smile!
Wynne is situated an ideal distance from the metropolitan areas of Memphis, TN, Little Rock and Jonesboro, AR - close enough to take advantage of all their benefits. Wynne is considered "God's Country" by many sportsmen who enjoy hunting and fishing. And those who like to enjoy nature in a more "city-fied" way can find many outdoor opportunities at Village Creek State Park just seven miles from Wynne.
Parkin Archeological State Park, just 12 miles east of Wynne, offers the fascinating study of a Mississippian Period Native American village, 1000-1550, a research station, museum and interpretive center.
Woman's Progressive Building, constructed in 1936, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Wynne's Farmfest is the second weekend in June. Here, you'll find arts and crafts, food, games, entertainment, an antique car show and plenty of fun for everyone. Nearby Parkin has its Visions of the Past Festival the third Saturday in September, Cherry Valley has Cherry Fest, and Hickory Ridge has Hickory Fest. These annual celebrations are enjoyed by thousands. HELPFUL LINKS TO LOCAL INFORMATION ----------------------------------------
