Welcome to Mena: Small Town Hospitality
We may not be the ‘big city’, but our hospitality is big and our land, forest and mountain range is known as God’s Country for a reason. Visitors frequently say that they feel the stress melt away as they get closer to our neck of the woods. Mena is a charming place and our southern hospitality will keep you coming back over and over again.
Where is Mena, anyway?
Mena was founded in 1896 as a railroad town at the eastern foot of
Arkansas' second highest peak, Rich Mountain. It is the eastern terminus
of the Talimena National Scenic Byway, a 54-mile byway that travels the
crests of Rich and Winding Stair mountains between Mena and
Talihina, Oklahoma.
