After many hours of searching through old newspapers and other publications, members of the Arkansas City Historic Preservation Board have published a new edition of the historical district walking tour guide. Board President Foss Farrar said that the updated version took a new slant from the previous edition by giving the history of the buildings and stories about the people who built them. “We decided we would want to tell the story of the people behind the buildings, the ones who kept the stores,” he said. “I kind of look at them as the heroes of Ark City during all of those years.”
