Arkansas History Lesson Plans
The Arkansas History Lesson Plans were written by Arkansas teachers for Arkansas teachers. These may be downloaded and used in Arkansas classrooms free of charge. Many of our lesson plans contain information related to entries found on the online Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture. Links to these entries have been added to the appropriate lesson plans for your convenience.

Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture

The Encyclopedia of Arkansas is a free, authoritative source of information about the rich history, geography, and culture of Arkansas. We invite you to browse our text entries and media galleries to learn more about the people, places, events, legends, and lore of the 25th state. We are continually adding new entries, photographs, maps, videos, and audio files, so check back frequently to see what’s new.
