The QQA hosts a variety of events throughout the year. In addition to our free Preservation Conversations educational events, we also host the Summer Suppers series (dinner at historic properties), the Spring Tour (Mother’s day weekend), and a Mid-Century Modern Tour (on a biennial basis).  If you have questions about any of our events, please email qqa@quapaw.com or call 501-371-0075 ext. 3.   


5H Club Meetings

History, Happy Hour, and Heavy hors d'oeuvres

These are member only events and typically limited to 25 guests. These are casual events that will focus on a specific topic, historic site, or collection of items. Meetings will start at 5:30 p.m. with a Happy Hour and selection of hors d'oeuvres before moving into a quick program for the night. 5H Club meetings are free to attend (with QQA Membership). 2024 5H Meetings have been generously supported and sponsored by Anita Davis. 

Keep an eye out here! There is another 5H coming up soon and we can't wait to share with you where it is!


Preservation Conversations

These events focus on technical preservation and central Arkansas History. All Preservation Conversations are open to the public and free of charge, but RSVPs are required for attendance. These events will start at 5:30 p.m. with refreshements, before moving into an hour program with the guest speaker of the night. 

Window Restoration with Mollie Waldon

Mollie Waldon,Technical Assistance Coordinator of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, will be leading a presentation on window restoration. Mollie will be demonstrating the restoration process of a double sash, wood-framed window. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the accompanying guidelines, call for respecting the significance of original materials and features, repairing and retaining them wherever possible, and when necessary, replacing them in kind. Keeping original windows to your home can be an incredibly important aspect of your historic tax credit approval. Join the Quapaw Quarter Association and Mollie Waldon for a free window restoration demonstration. Reception with free snacks, refreshments, beer, and wine will open at 5:30 p.m. Mollie's demonstration will start promptly at 6:00 p.m. with opportunities for questions. 

Please note that this is not a fully hands-on restoration workshop. This event will be a brief demonstration of the process with a prepared window display. 

This is a free event but registration is required, as space is limited.
