The Texarkana Museum of Regional History tells the story of the "city located in two states"—Texarkana, TX, and its neighbor Texarkana, AR.
The museum is housed in the town's oldest brick building with galleries that contain exhibits telling the story of the region's rich agriculture, civil rights, and World War II history. Visitors can view pottery created by the area's Caddo people and also learn about early Spanish and French explorers.
The museum uses census data to tell many of Texarkana's stories, including an interactive exhibit about the native son and the "King of Ragtime"—Scott Joplin. The museum displays several of Joplin's instruments, including the piano on which he learned to play.
To learn more about Scott Joplin, visit the Census Bureau's "King of Ragtime" Web page. You can also and visit the Texarkana Museum of Regional History Web site.
