Things to Do
Trivia at the Ridge
Online Game
Trivia at the Ridge is an interactive game players can access on their smart phones or other electronic devices. The game asks trivia questions about the rockabilly singers who once frequented Hwy. 67 through Walnut Ridge, and about the Beatles’ 1964 stop at the Walnut Ridge Airport. Answer those questions to advance to a second round of questions about the Walnut Ridge blood feud that raged for several years in the early 1900s.
Beatles Park
108 Abbey Road, Downtown Walnut Ridge
Beatles Park features a massive sculpture in the likeness of the Abbey Road album cover. Make sure you take time to find the lyrics and song titles hidden in the hand-etched background!
The Beatles tribute recalls the 1964 visit to Walnut Ridge Airport by the famous rockers, and the park features photos and history from that day. Admission is free.
Guitar Walk at Cavenaugh Park
Front Street, Downtown Walnut Ridge
Guitar Walk at Cavenaugh Park is a 115’ long walkway in the shape of an electric guitar, detailed right down to the metal strings.
The walk features informative tributes to rockabilly legends like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and six others who performed in and around Walnut Ridge during the early days of rock ‘n’ roll. The Guitar Walk includes an audio tour narrated by Sun Studios recording artist Sonny Burgess. Admission is free.
