Explore Peel Museum & Botanical Garden

  • While these artifacts aren’t from the Peel family, they still tell the history of the home. Recently uncovered in our basement, these pieces give us a glimpse into the owners of the house in the early to mid 1900’s!
  • Join us May 14th for a relaxed evening at Peel Museum, where you’ll create a floral arrangement inspired by the garden itself during our Peel in Bloom class. Bring someone special or make something just for them (or yourself). Limited spots and registration is required. Comment “FLOWERS” and we’ll send you the details 🌸
  • Favorite Ozark breakfast lineup 🫶 Fresh coffee, local honey, jam, and something warm on the skillet… doesn’t get much better than that. You can find all of this (and more) inside the Peel Museum Store.
  • We asked our staff their favorite artifact? Some were too good to pick just one 😊 What’s your favorite when you visit?
  • We’re getting ready for our Community Picnic and it’s shaping up to be such a fun day for families and kids! From face painting and balloon artists to scavenger hunts, hands-on activities, and games spread across the grounds, there’s something around every corner to keep them moving, creating, and exploring. Made possible by Cadillac of Bentonville 📅 May 31st Want the details and ticket link? Comment PICNIC and we’ll send it your way.
  • Last night’s Rose Propagation class was incredible. Thank you to everyone who came out and spent the evening with us. And a big thank you to our Site Manager, Dietrich, for leading such a thoughtful, hands-on experience. Missed this one? We’ve got a class coming up in May with our Mother’s Day Floral Design!
