Previous Mid Mod Arkansas Tours

Grand Prairie – 2025

The 2025 Mid Mod tour featured private residences and churches in Stuttgart, Slovak, and Lonoke on April 5. A luncheon was sponsored by the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie and the Grand Prairie Historical Society. Attendees toured the Buerkle House and Holy Rosary Catholic Church at Stuttgart, Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church at Slovak, and the Bransford House at Lonoke.

Hot Springs – 2024

Our 2024 tour, held in Hot Springs September 27-28, featured the works of legendary Arkansas architect I. Granger McDaniel. McDaniel’s life story is extraordinary; in fact, his experiences during World War II inspired a Hollywood film. After the war, he designed many buildings in Hot Springs, reshaping the city’s appearance in the mid-20th century.
