Known as an academic town, Ozark Mountains in Arkansas is home to the University of Arkansas and was the first home of Bill and Hillary Clinton after they were first married. Fayetteville has plenty of activities for its locals and visitors to indulge in.
1. Visit a farmers market: One can go down to the main square from April until November to the farmers market and shop around for farm fresh fruit and vegetables. This is a real treat for those who prefer to buy their groceries from places that sell fresh produce and not from supermarkets.
2. Spend a night on the town: Dickson Street has bars, disco, restaurants and music in the air. When the sun goes down, this street comes to life and it is a favorite hangout for the students at the nearby Arkansas University.
3. Visit the first house Bill and Hillary Clinton lived in: The house in which Bill and Hillary Clinton lived in after they got married in Fayetteville has now been turned into the Clinton Museum and is worth a visit.
4. For a soothing spa bath: The Eureka Springs are close to Fayetteville and should one want to sooth their nerves with a relaxing massage and mineral bath, then a visit to these springs is worthwhile.
5. Boston Mountains Scenic Loop: A drive on this road is like driving on an amusement park ride as it winds its way around creeks, coves and valleys. The topography along the way through the Ozark Mountains in all seasons is refreshing.
