“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History for receiving the Outstanding Achievement in Collections Care and Conservation Award by the Arkansas Museums Association. This award recognizes excellence in preservation and conservation and practices that illustrate exceptional standards that are set forth by the American Alliance of Museums and Society of American Archivists. The museum received this award for renovations last year of the historic Arsenal Building built in 1841, which now houses the military history educational exhibits. MacArthur Museum's Executive Director, Stephen McAteer, was also recognized and received the Distinguished Museum Professional of the Year Award for his oversight role in these renovations. MacArthur Museum opened in May 2001, and continues to educate local, State, national, and international visitors about Arkansas' military heritage. Thank you to my friend, Stephen, and all of the dedicated workers at the MacArthur Military Museum of History for your service and leadership in the preservation of Arkansas' heritage. Recognizing the Recipient of the 2019 Steve Willbanks Award”
