If you have ever driven by a building and wondered what has happened within its walls, you know what drives Abandoned Arkansas. Every day neglected structures are on the verge of being demolished or in desperate need of renovation.
Join Michael Schwarz, Eddy Sisson, Ginger Beck, and James Kirkendall through the forgotten history of the Natural State, from the Majestic Hotel in Hot Springs to Dogpatch USA, an abandoned theme park once loved by thousands.
Travel to decayed places around the state and bear witness to the vandalism, weathering, and slow death of countless historic buildings. It’s simultaneously heartbreaking and captivating.
Through historic documentation, these photographers hope to immortalize the stories of the places they visit beyond the building’s finite lifespan, and to preserve an echo from the past.

Pictures worth more than 1,000 words!
The writing in this book is competent but the true star is the collection of photographs! They capture the essence of so many different, forgotten, and interesting places across Arkansas. It’s a visual tour of some pretty incredible sights and I’m so glad that I happened to notice a copy sitting on a coffee table at a friend’s house. I can’t think of any other books like it; I’m definitely looking forward to more in this the future and hope more are published.

This is a wonderfully enjoyable book with gorgeous photography and reverence for the history of the authors’ surroundings. I definitely recommend this to photography and history enthusiasts, as well as anyone looking for inspiration to start their own journey of exploring abandoned sites wherever they may be.

❤️❤️❤️ Abandoned Arkansas !!!
What a fantastic book! I ordered about 12+ for gifts and had them all signed by Ginger Beck. There was sooo much about Arkansas places that I never knew. Definitely plan on buying every single book that’s ever published by Abandoned Arkansas.
