Ben Pearson LONGBOW RESORT

Our rural Arkansas electric coop magazine is very interesting this month. It has a great article on Ben Pearson's resort and a follow-up article on him.

Thought you guys would enjoy sharing this one.

Interesting,thanks!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

My wife and I stayed there for our 20th anniversary. Tons of traditional history. Ben Jr was a joy to visit with. Great getaway for a week or a weekend. I highly recommend it! Tommy

This is a picture of me taken with Mary Pearson in 2007. She had just recieved the plaque she's holding. I was doing some forging demos at the bow shoot in Pine Bluff and got to know her and her family a little. You should have seen the large framed pictures of her husband (Ben), Howard Hill, and Fred Bear, and other bow greats. She told me about the Longbow Resort then and I plan on going before too long. Great article. Lin

Looks like a very interesting place to stay. I've lived in Arkansas most all my life and I didn't even know it existed.

I've known Ben Jr. awhile and stayed in Bushmaster for a couple days.  If you want to spend quiet time in a cool place, this is it.

Google "Longbow Resorts" and you will locate his website.  Great website and provides the history and everything you need to know about the place.  

Ben and I donated a couple days there to the PBS Banguet one year.

The cabins are built into the walls of this huge cleft in the ground.  You really have to experience it.  It's been too long, I need to revisit and enjoy one of the other two cabins.
