By arrangement

Visiting the House

The Franklin Desha House is a private family home in Desha, Independence County, Arkansas. We're glad to welcome guests — but visits are by arrangement only.

Please note

This is not a public attraction and there are no walk-in hours. The house is the family's home, and we ask that visitors come only when invited or arranged with the family.

What to expect on a visit

When you visit, you'll be welcomed into the house and shown the rooms. QR codes placed in each room open that room's story on this website — no app needed, just your phone's camera. A printable tour guide is also available if you'd prefer paper.

Arranging a visit

Please contact the family directly to arrange a visit.

Family note

▲ Add your preferred contact method here — an email address or other way for invited guests and family to reach you. You may prefer not to publish contact details on the public site at all; if so, delete this box.

Directions

We don't publish directions here, out of respect for the family's privacy. Invited guests will receive directions from the family directly.
