About

The Glade Community Historical Society (GCHS) was established on November 5, 2011, to preserve the history of our Arkansas communities. By researching and gathering stories, documents and artifacts, we are preserving the Glade, Pinelog and Garfield communities to enable future generations to understand past contributions to Northwestern Arkansas.

Project

The Society's first major project was to move and restore the old post office/store building from Pea Ridge back to the Glade.
