The exhibit includes pages from Willie Underwood Wyatt’s scrapbook of Valentines from her grammar school classmates in Piggott, 1910 to 1918.

Many of Mrs. Wyatt’s school friends represent families currently in Piggott and friends of the Paul and Mary Pfeiffer family.

The Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center includes the family home of Paul and Mary Pfeiffer and the barn-studio where Hemingway wrote during visits to Piggott. Tours are on the hour, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is a $5 donation, $3 for groups of 10 or more (by reservation) and senior citizens.
