The town was founded in 1896 as a key stop on the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad. Its downtown streets were laid out by a railroad engineer named Robert Gillham, and the area grew quickly around the booming rail industry. While the house itself isn’t on the National Register of Historic Places, it’s just a short walk from Mena’s Commercial Historic District, where many original buildings from the late 1800s to early 1900s still stand. The neighborhood offers a glimpse into Mena’s past, and we’ve worked hard to preserve that century-old charm while updating the home with modern comfort. We hope you enjoy your stay! When you rent this house, you will have this stand alone house to yourself. It is not attached to any other structure. Enjoy! Please message on this platform for any questions or needs!

You can enjoy Western Arkansas in all directions of the home! Walk to the park or downtown shopping, take a scenic drive over the mountain, or head to Wolf Gap or Ward Lake trails for outdoor fun - all within 20 miles of the house!
