The Eddie Mae Herron Center & Museum is a historic community building at 1708 Archer Street in Pocahontas, Arkansas. Originally built as an African Methodist Episcopal Church, it is a small one-room wood frame structure, with a gable roof and novelty siding. A flat-roof addition expands the building to the right. The main facade has two entrances, each sheltered by a small gable-roofed hood. The building was built in 1918, to provide facilities for a church and school to the small African-American community in Pocahontas. It served as a church for thirty years, and as a school for fifty, and was later adapted for other uses, most recently as a museum and community center.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 as the St. Mary's AME Church—Pocahontas Colored School.

  This isn't fancy, but food and service are always good. We really like the catfish, and they have a lunch buffet during the week.  more »
