About this city

Prairie Grove is a charming, historic valley city nestled in the western foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Northwest Arkansas.

Today, the town has beautifully preserved its agricultural heritage and historic downtown strip, while evolving into a progressive residential community highly prized for its antique shopping and pristine state park preservation.
