RESTORATION HAS BEGUN. Architect Ed Sergeant of Sergeant Architecture, PLLC and Central Arkansas Contractors have teamed for authentic restoration.   In the meantime to visit The Elaine Legacy Center and Descendants of the 1919 Massacre, visit ELC at 313 College Ave., Elaine AR.  between 9 am and 2 pm Tuesday-Friday.  Or call for appointment 870-816-6798.

The Building at 100 Main Street that will house the

Elaine Museum and Civil Rights Center is basically unchanged from 1919.  It will house the sacred memory information, pictures, and oral narratives of the Elaine Massacre of 1919. The adjacent space will be a sacred Memorial Park.   

This building in the 1919 Massacre was the center of the horror of mob violence.  It is thought to be the oldest structure remaining in Elaine.   Most recently it was Lee's Grocery.  Dedication of the new museum is planned as soon as construction is completed.
