WELCOME!
Welcome to the Bentonville area—the birthplace of Walmart and a place unlike anywhere else in the country.
What makes Bentonville special isn’t just what we have—it’s the opportunity it creates for you and your family.
Here, you’ll find a rare combination: the culture of a small town paired with the resources and opportunities of a global city. It’s a place where world-class museums sit minutes from mountain bike trails, where entrepreneurs and global companies grow side by side, and where families find both opportunity and connection.
But what truly sets Bentonville apart is this moment.
Our community is growing, evolving, and stepping into one of the most important chapters in its history. In the years ahead, Bentonville will continue to welcome new neighbors, new businesses, and new ideas. And unlike many fast-growing cities across the country, we have a unique opportunity to grow in a way that preserves what makes this place special.
That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of people.
People who choose to build a career here. People who choose to raise a family here. People who choose to invest, create, and contribute to something bigger than themselves.

If you’re considering Bentonville, you’re not just choosing a place to live—you’re choosing to be part of shaping its future.
The Bentonville area is made up of communities like Bella Vista, Centerton, Pea Ridge, and Bentonville—each with its own character, yet all connected by a shared commitment to quality of life. Whether it’s access to miles of trails, strong schools, a thriving business environment, or a welcoming sense of community, this region offers the kind of balance that’s increasingly hard to find.
Bentonville has earned the nickname “Mountain Bike Capital of the World,” but what we’re really building is something even bigger: a community where opportunity, livability, and character grow together.
This guide is designed to help you explore all that Bentonville has to offer— whether you’re visiting for the first time, considering a move, or beginning your next chapter here. We’re glad you’re here. And we believe you’ll discover what so many of us already know—there’s never been a more exciting time to be part of Bentonville.
See you on the trails,

Downtown Bentonville is the energetic heart of the city, a vibrant destination where world-class art, award-winning dining, outdoor adventure and small-town charm come together in one walkable district. What was once a quiet town square has evolved into one of America’s most dynamic cultural destinations.
Here, history meets modern creativity. Visitors can explore The Walmart Museum on one side of the square, discover contemporary art at 21c Museum Hotel Bentonville on the other, and stroll streets lined with local shops, cafés and inviting public spaces.
The historic downtown square hosts many of the city’s signature gatherings, including the Bentonville Farmers Market, lively First Friday celebrations and the acclaimed Bentonville Film Festival. Just north of downtown, Compton Gardens & Arboretum connects by trail to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, where art and nature meet in spectacular fashion.
Bentonville is also internationally known as a mountain biking destination, with miles of trails accessible right from downtown and hundreds more throughout Northwest Arkansas. Riders can roll from the square to legendary trail systems like Slaughter Pen Mountain Bike Park and Coler Mountain Bike Preserve in just minutes.
Beyond the square, districts throughout downtown continue to evolve. The Arts District is home to the Momentary, while the Market District features destinations such as 8th Street Market and Brightwater: A Center for the Study of Food – helping shine a national spotlight on Bentonville’s creative and culinary energy.
Downtown Attractions
CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART
Since opening in 2011, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has welcomed more than 14 million visitors with free general admission, fulfilling founder Alice Walton’s vision of making world-class art accessible to all. Nestled in a wooded Ozark valley and connected to downtown Bentonville by the Art Trail, the museum is named for the nearby Crystal Spring and the bridge-inspired design by internationally acclaimed Moshe Safdie and Safdie Architects. Its collection
spans five centuries of American art, from historic masterworks to current day, complemented by a dynamic schedule of temporary exhibitions.
In June 2026, Crystal Bridges unveils its transformative 114,000-square-foot expansion, increasing the museum’s size by 50 percent and ushering in a bold new era for one of America’s most celebrated cultural destinations. The expansion introduces new galleries, art studios, educational spaces, a community floor, outdoor gathering areas and a new café, while every gallery throughout the museum has been thoughtfully reinstalled to create a fresh journey through American art, architecture and nature.

Housed in a thoughtfully reimagined former cheese factory, the Momentary has become one of the region’s premier destinations for live music, presenting concerts, festivals and immersive performances throughout the year. Its 2026 lineup includes acclaimed artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Wilco, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Lord Huron, Death Cab for Cutie, Sierra Ferrell and Rhiannon Giddens, along with the return of the electronic music festival Momentous. Indoor shows, outdoor concerts and monthly nightlife events make the campus a yearround home for discovery and celebration.
The Momentary also features changing art exhibitions, outdoor art, and culinary experiences. Going on view in Summer 2026, two exhibitions centered on everyday objects and American life include Lucy Sparrow: The Beginning of Convenience, an immersive
installation featuring more than 20,000 hand-crafted felt replicas of supermarket products in a nostalgic grocery setting, and an exhibition of photographs by Chuck Ramirez that transforms ordinary consumer goods into reflections of memory, identity and community.
Visitors can also enjoy the soaring Tower Bar with panoramic views, Onyx Coffee Lab, indoor and outdoor gathering areas, the sprawling Momentary Green lawn, and a retail shop. Visit theMomentary.org to learn more.

BENTONVILLE: MOUNTAIN BIKING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
As you may have heard, Bentonville has firmly established itself as the “Mountain Biking Capital of the World” – a distinction earned through years of intentional investment by city leaders, visionary trail designers and builders, maintenance crews, riders of every skill level, and an embracing community. Industry leaders and cyclists alike describe Bentonville as a mountain bike mecca where riders can roll just blocks from downtown onto miles and miles of urban singletrack, with hundreds more miles connected through an unmatched regional network.
That access includes signature Bentonville trail systems such as Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, Hand Cut Hollow and Slaughter Pen, along with nearby favorites in Bella Vista including The Back 40, Blowing Springs and Little Sugar
“It’s true that Bentonville has become the new Mountain Biking Capital of the World,” Bentonville Mayor Stephanie Orman said. “Over the past decade-plus, we’ve built a reputation among mountain biking enthusiasts and athletes as the premier global destination for the sport.”
The local economy has also truly embraced Bentonville’s leadership in mountain biking tourism, attracting quality bike shops, rental and retail outfitters, guides, manufacturers, professional riders and more – as well as a growing culinary and hospitality scene. Everything a rider could want is within a short ride of the trails, from bike-friendly lodging and restaurants to craft brews and world-class art museums.
“This incredible [Mountain Biking Capital of the World] distinction has come after years
OZ Trails Bike Park
Taking NWA’s cycling culture to entirely new heights!
Opening in June 2026, the OZ Trails Bike Park introduces Arkansas’ first lift-served mountain biking experience, bringing a new style of riding to the Ozarks. Located along Highway 71 at Mercy Way on the Bentonville/Bella Vista border, the park represents a major milestone in the region’s ongoing evolution as a global hub for outdoor recreation.
Designed for riders of all levels, the park features more than 20 miles of purpose-built gravity trails, ranging from beginner-friendly green runs to advanced and expert-level lines. A high-speed quad chairlift carries riders to the top, offering the kind of downhill-focused experience typically found in major mountain biking destinations out West – now right here in Northwest Arkansas.
of intentional work [by so many] in our great community,” said Tom Walton, co-founder of Runway Group, a lifelong patron, and avid mountain biking enthusiast. “From the outset of our shared vision to transform our city as a mountain biking paradise unique from other destinations, the city government and community leaders provided the support and balanced leadership we needed to help make the dream become a reality.”
site is envisioned as a year-round gathering space for the broader community.

But the OZ Trails Bike Park is more than just a place to ride. Anchored by the OZ Trails HQ, the

THE FUTURE OF BETTER BEGINS HERE
A new chapter is unfolding in Bentonville, and it’s one that reflects both deep roots and bold ambition. The opening of Walmart’s new Home Office marks one of the most significant developments in the region’s modern history – an expansive, people-centered campus designed to shape the future of work, community, and innovation in Northwest Arkansas.
Spanning 350 acres, the new Home Office is far more than a corporate headquarters. It is a thoughtfully designed environment built to support connection, wellness, and creativity – while remaining firmly grounded in Walmart’s legacy and values. With millions of project hours invested and years of planning behind it, the campus stands as a visible symbol of Walmart’s long-term commitment to Bentonville and the region it calls home.
Inside Walmart’s New Home Office in Bentonville
among associates and welcoming the broader community into the campus experience.
WHOLE HEALTH, THOUGHTFULLY INTEGRATED
Well-being is woven into the fabric of the Home Office. Associates have access to on-site childcare designed for convenience and peace of mind, along with comprehensive fitness and wellness offerings anchored by Walton Family Whole Health & Fitness. These facilities support physical, mental, and emotional health – reflecting a holistic approach to work-life balance that resonates strongly with today’s workforce.
BUILT WITH PEOPLE AT THE CENTER
From the earliest stages, associate input played a defining role in shaping the new campus. Thousands of ideas informed decisions about everything from workspace design and amenities to dining and wellness offerings. The result is a workplace that feels human in scale and intention – filled with natural light, flexible work environments, and intuitive amenities that make the everyday experience more enjoyable and productive.
Dining and gathering spaces are a standout feature. At the heart of the campus is 8th & Plate, a vibrant food hall featuring a dozen eateries, alongside a growing mix of streetfront retail and restaurants that will continue opening throughout 2026. Together, these spaces blur the line between workplace and neighborhood, encouraging connection
Outdoor wellness is just as important. With miles of landscaped promenades, walking and biking paths, and easy access to the Razorback Greenway, the campus encourages movement, fresh air, and daily interaction with Northwest Arkansas’s natural beauty.
A CAMPUS ROOTED IN SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability and innovation guided every major design decision. The new Home Office features the largest mass-timber office construction of its kind in the United States and is designed to achieve LEED Platinum standards. Roughly half of the campus is dedicated to green space, including hundreds of thousands
of native plants and thousands of newly planted trees – creating a living landscape that reflects and enhances the Ozarks environment.
Transportation infrastructure supports a lower-impact lifestyle, with extensive bike parking, EV charging stations, and oncampus mobility options. Advanced building technologies — such as dynamic glass, smart energy systems, and automated landscape care — help reduce environmental impact while increasing efficiency and comfort.
A PLACE TO THRIVE AND TO BELONG
For those new to Bentonville or considering a move to the area, Walmart’s new Home Office offers a powerful glimpse into what makes this region special: a forward-looking economy, an emphasis on quality of life, and a genuine sense of community. The campus doesn’t stand apart from Bentonville – it’s intentionally interwoven with it, contributing to the city’s growth while honoring the character and landscape that make Northwest Arkansas distinctive.
As associates fill the buildings and the surrounding amenities come fully online, the Home Office will continue to evolve, shaped by the people who work there and the community that surrounds it. More than a place to work, it is a place to gather, to grow, and to imagine what’s next. In Bentonville, the future of better isn’t a slogan – it’s taking shape, one thoughtfully designed space at a time.

FUELING THE REGION’S ECONOMY
Northwest Arkansas is one of the fastest growing regional economies in the nation, home to Fortune 500 leaders such as Walmart, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt that are among the largest companies in the U.S. Along with the University of Arkansas, a Carnegie Foundation Top 3% research institution, and thriving arts, outdoor recreation and startup sectors, the region consistently gets high marks for job growth, affordability, cost of living and quality of life.
BENTONVILLE: BENTONVILLE IS A CITY WHERE INNOVATION SHINES
Steadily attracting businesses, residents, visitors and a trained and educated workforce, the population in Northwest Arkansas is more than 622,177. With rapidly increasing density and an ever-growing economy, Money and U.S. News & World Report both ranked the region among the top 10 places to live in the nation.
Bentonville is a city where innovation shines. It is home to Walmart, the world's largest retailer with 2.1 million employees, and was recently named one of the best places in the U.S. to launch a career.
The neighboring cities of Bella Vista, Pea Ridge and Centerton are among the safest in which to live and raise a family, with some of the fastest growing populations in the nation.
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is the spring from which Bentonville’s vibrant arts and tourism economies flow. The Momentary, a satellite of Crystal Bridges, opened in 2020 with visual, culinary and performing arts. And, Bentonville’s renowned culinary scene boasts multiple James Beard Foundation Semifinalists.
Continued investments by Bentonville and the entire region into Northwest Arkansas' bike trail infrastructure are paying off, generating many millions for the region's economy.
Epic bike trails and a welcoming cycling culture have bicyclists from all over flocking to Bentonville – called a "Disneyland for Mountain Bikers” by Outside magazine and is officially Home of the U.S. National Mountain Bike Team.
A CENTRAL LOCATION
Located in America’s Heartland, Northwest Arkansas is at the center of everywhere. Key markets in the Midwest and South are within a half-day’s drive, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas-Fort Worth, Memphis, Little Rock, Tulsa, Wichita and Oklahoma City.
Access to suppliers and business customers is easily available with convenient nonstop flights from Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) to 27 direct destinations, including Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Miami, Washington DC and New York.
A CRITICAL MASS OF BUSINESS
While Walmart, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt all began in Northwest Arkansas, nearly 400 Fortune 500 companies have a presence in the region and more than 1,600 suppliers have established offices in the region to be close to Walmart.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
A Rich Heritage
In 1837, a site was designated as the county seat for Benton County, named in honor of Thomas Hart Benton, a U.S. senator from Missouri who was responsible for helping Arkansas attain statehood in 1836. Bentonville was the first town established in Benton County in 1873, and today continues to be the seat of county government. The downtown square quickly became the place for commerce and entertainment. By the end of the Civil War, apples put Benton County on the map. In 1901, Benton County was the largest apple-producing county in the nation with more than 300 varieties coming just from Bentonville alone. In 1921, large-scale broiler chicken production began and the county was ranked as the largest eggproducing county in Arkansas. The 1930s brought continued growth for the poultry and dairy industry. In 1950, Sam Walton opened Walton’s 5&10 on the Bentonville Square. Bentonville has continued to grow into a thriving business and cultural center, and is home to the headquarters of Walmart Inc., ranked the largest corporation by revenue on the Fortune Global 500 list for 13 years in a row.
Present Day
BENTONVILLE IS RANKED AS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE NATION
Bentonville is ranked as one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So what has led to this unprecedented growth? The answer is incredible quality-of-life investments that have transformed Bentonville, drawing national and international attention over the last decade. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, which opened in 2011, the Scott Family Amazeum (2015) and the Momentary (2020) are some of the best examples of these investments. Unique, communityminded restaurants, breweries and lodging options have followed, including 21c Museum Hotel, Thaden Field and 8th Street Market, opening their doors to add character and charm to the local ecosystem. Walmart, along with its many supporting suppliers and vendors operating in the area, is still the lead economic driver in Bentonville, but equally as relevant in today’s mobile workforce economy are the new focus areas: bikes, art, culinary and aviation. All of these amenities combined have culminated to have an astonishing impact on the city.
