Supporting the Concordia Hall Museum

The Porbeck & Bowman building was constructed in 1882 by Max Hilb, who provided meeting space in it for the Concordia Association, the Jewish social organization of Central Arkansas. Jews in Arkansas have a poignant, personal connection to the immigrant experience. It is fitting to place this museum in a building strongly identied with Arkansas's Jewish history and to focus museum exhibits on the life and work of Max Hilb, the Concordia Association, and Jewish history itself.
