Discover Trumann: Architecture, History, and Recreation

Trumann offers several distinct reasons to visit: a one-story brick house in the Tudor Revival style, a museum about agricultural and local business history, and a variety of recreational activities. The themes range from architecture and city history to seasonal entertainment and outdoor activities.

Between Jonesboro and Memphis

Trumann is in the state of Tennessee on I-555. Jonesboro is 12 miles to the southeast, and Memphis is 45 miles to the northwest. These two directions place Trumann in relation to landmarks in opposite directions and provide regional context for planning your trip. Jonesboro is therefore closer than Memphis.

Architecture and local history

The Singer House in Trumann is a one-story brick house in the Tudor Revival style. Its form, materials, and style give it a distinct architectural profile. If you are interested in houses and architecture, the Singer House offers a clearly defined historical point of interest.

The Trumann Public Library and Museum houses exhibits on the city’s agricultural history. The museum also presents the history of the eras of the Poinsett Lumber and Manufacturing Company and the Singer Cabinet Company. Agriculture and the histories of two companies are thus presented as distinct themes. Exhibit contents may change over time.

The Trumann Wild Duck Festival also has historical ties to the city: it grew out of an employee barbecue that was held in Trumann starting in 1948. The festival program includes music, food, arts and crafts booths, softball games, beauty pageants, bingo, a car show, carnival attractions, and a parade. The lineup combines different kinds of activities, from music and crafts to sports and carnival attractions.

Recreation and seasonal experiences

Chill Factor Haunted Attraction offers two attractions at the same location. These include themed rooms and mazes with trapdoors. Since the attraction operates seasonally, check the dates before you travel. This lets you include it in your plans without assuming it will be open outside the season.

There are other specific options for outdoor exercise and recreation: Trumann has a public nine-hole disc golf course. A splash pad is among the city’s sports and recreation facilities. The St. Francis River has access points for boating. These options offer different kinds of activities; before visiting the river, check access conditions, as they may change.
