For its innovative fund raising techniques, and for its use of volunteer labor to construct its building on land donated by the local school board, the Prairie Grove Senior Activity Center received the Arkansas Senior Center Best Practice award in 1996.
The building sits on a wooded lot on the edge of the Prairie Grove School grounds. It contains a large activity/dining room, kitchen facilities, a parlor/game room, and an office. Behind, a shaded walking trail winds through the trees. Volunteer students from the school help to maintain this trail, and even rebuilt it after it was damaged by heavy rains.
The town of Prairie Grove is home to the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park -- the location of a Civil War battle -- and hosts the Prairie Grove Clothesline Fair each year.
