of Arkansas for being awarded accreditation through the American 
Association of Museums. The Rogers Historical Museum joins an 
impressive group of 778 institutions currently accredited nationwide. 
This accreditation represents the highest recognition of the Rogers 
Historical Museum's commitment to public service, professional 
standards, and excellence in education.
  Museums like the Rogers Historical Museum play an important role in 
promoting lifelong education, travel and tourism, and quality of life. 
They offer a center of exploration, discovery, and lifelong earnings 
for students and citizens of all ages and all walks of life.
  I commend the Rogers Historical Museum's leaders and the entire 
community for their efforts to maintain the history and heritage of 
their community. Their tireless efforts helped make this accreditation 
a reality. They represent the best of our State, and I am proud of 
their accomplishments. I join all Arkansans to congratulate the Rogers 
Historical Museum for this distinguished recognition.
