(Historic Downtown Rogers)
Located southeast of the junction of I-540 and US Highway 62 in northwestern Arkansas, folks just don't live in Rogers. For most, it's a way of life and a quality of life second to none. A land of limitless recreational possibilities. Social and cultural facilities and events reflecting a proud Arkansas heritage as well as a pride in community spirit. An exemplary educational system boasting of a "united community effort to give the children the best possible learning environment." A promotion in economic growth bringing an abundance of job opportunities supported by the area Chamber of Commerce workforce development plan that connects employers with prospective employees. A sense of community so widespread that the likes of Walmart, JB Transport, and Tyson Foods have come to call the Rogers area their hometown.
Part of the Main Street, USA program, downtown Rogers features restored original storefronts housing unique shops offering collections from local artists, specialty stores, delightful eateries including quaint tearooms and heavenly coffee shops, community services, and professional businesses. Most listed on the National Historic Registry. A walk down Roger's friendly sidewalks is a pleasant walk in the past.
