When visitors scan the walls of the Union County Sports Hall of Fame Museum, staring back at them are the multifarious faces of athletes and coaches who began their journeys in area schools, and in many cases, left their imprint on the collegiate, national and international stages.
Every inch of the modestly-sized museum is purposed with Union County sports memorabilia that serves as a historical record of eras gone by and an up-to-the-minute account of present-day athletes around the country.
Randy Ross, vice-president and primary researcher/ historian for the Union County Sports Hall of Fame said, “We want people to know we are here and we’re open and to see that Union County, sports-wise, can stand up to other counties in Arkansas and other counties around the country. If you’re into sports, you’ll enjoy it. If you’re not into sports, then you’ll enjoy seeing the history of Union County. We’re in El Dorado, but this museum represents the whole county.
