Originally serving as a railroad construction camp in 1884, Hardy AR has retained its quaint turn-of-the-century appearance along Main Street. The central downtown area of Hardy is on the National Register of Historic Places and hasn't changed much since Model-T days. New growth and attractions have located at the edges of town, leaving a tiny Mecca for craft and antique shopping in the heart of town. Check out our Best Western hotel in Hardy.
