Nov 15th,  2008 - Our first stop was to Sam Walton's 5 & 10 store in downtown Bentonville. This was the very first the Sam Walton opened, well now there are thousands of Wal-Marts all over the world and Walmart is the largest retailer in the world now. 

The original store front still remains but now the inside is a museum. The museum has many things including

  • A History of Walmart from the 50s until today
  • A history of International growth of Walmart
  • Sam Walton's chartitable causes
  • Information about his family

There are lot of his personal memorobilia including his office, his Ford pickup truck and other personal effects. 

If I was older, I would certainly have been inspired, but for today, I was only interested in his Ford Truck.
