Walton's 5 and 10


This is where it all began.  In this five and dime store the beginnings of the Walmart chain of stores was laid.  It is now a museum and is open to the public--free of charge.  It's quite an interesting little museum.  The history of the Walton family is on display along with the events time line that led to the formation of this large company. The museum also explains the work ethic of Mr. Walton and his personal code to live by, as well as,  his emphasis on philanthropic giving .  This is a very interesting place to visit. It's in Bentonville, Arkansas.  Go.
