The story

War Eagle Mill Fall Craft Fair in Rogers

The War Eagle Mill Fall Craft Fair, also known as the War Eagle Fair, is a juried arts and crafts festival held each October at historic War Eagle Mills Farm in Hindsville, Arkansas, near Rogers. Begun in 1954 out of a local handweavers guild exhibition, it is often called the 'granddaddy of craft fairs' in the region.

War Eagle Mills Farm has centered on a working gristmill and the banks of War Eagle Creek since long before it became a craft-fair destination.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The fair's setting is as significant as its craftwork: War Eagle Mills Farm sits along War Eagle Creek around a historic working gristmill, giving the more than 250 vendor booths a rural, riverside backdrop rather than a fairground or convention hall

02

The mystery stays covered

Its 1954 origin as a handweavers guild exhibition gives it a claim to being one of the oldest continuously running craft fairs in the Ozarks, predating the modern craft-fair circuit by decades

03

The city starts moving

The fair runs as a companion event to a separate spring fair held at the same farm each May, giving War Eagle Mills two major annual craft gatherings rather than one, and vendors travel from across the country to sell handmade pottery, metalwork, woodcarving, jewelry, soap, watercolors, quilts, stoneware, and folk art directly to buyers
