Originally opened as a five-and-dime store in 1950 by Sam Walton, the building now houses a museum featuring exhibits and a reconstruction of the original dime store which boasts original floor tiles, a tin ceiling, and supplies that the shop would have sold. Grab an ice cream float at the old-fashioned soda fountain. Work out when and for how long to visit The Walmart Museum and other Bentonville attractions using our handy Bentonville attractions site.

  I liked the feeling coming inside and seeing items you can buy at that place where you don't really see it at any other Walmart locations. There was alot of history and information there that I did not know about, and it was worth knowing. There was also a great greeting. This place was definitely worth going too!
