OPINION | James Hales: War Eagle more than a mill or craft fair

It has been a few years since I wrote about the area just east of Rogers called War Eagle, and there are many old and new citizens who have no idea of the importance of this historic community and the impact it had, and still has, on our city. The beautiful area at War Eagle is the oldest community in Benton County and one of the most scenic and historic areas in Arkansas. A trip east across the Arkansas 12 bridge to War Eagle and Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area is a real treat, with much to do and see. The War Eagle Mill and Bridge and all of the natural attractions of Hobbs provide one of the most popular venues for tourists and locals alike. So, what is the story of this popular destination?
