Around Town

Mena is rich in history. Taking a simple drive through downtown and enjoying the beautiful architecture of the historic homes and churches can be a nice change from the ordinary. Aside from our many outdoor attractions, Mena can be enjoyed by those wanting to take a little slower pace. So if you are wanting a refreshing break from neon lights, noisy traffic, and loud music to enjoy some traditional family togetherness, Mena may have just what you've been looking for!

With an afternoon walk or drive through town, you’ll discover unique shopping and dining as well as good family entertainment.  Check out a play at the Ouachita Little Theatre located in the 80 year old Lyric theater building, or take in a movie at the Silver Screens Theater.  Maybe you prefer something more active . . . the Pine Bowl offers traditional family bowling entertainment or try your wheels out at the Rink-A-Dink skating rink!  Be sure to visit the events page to find the schedule for the popular local “Ouachita Music Jamboree” and kick up your heels after an afternoon around town!
