Stuttgart is located at 80 km east of Little
Rock. It is the state's headquarters for rice farming. It's also
great hunting and fishing territory, what with all the marshy
land about. In fact, it claims the unusual title of Rice and
Duck Capital of the World -which makes us hungry to visit. Visit
the rice mill, rice paddies, White River National Wildlife
Refuge and the Stuttgart Agricultural Museum, which contains an
extensive collection of artifacts about area life in the 1800s.
