The Fayetteville Public Library — consistently ranked among the best in the nation — is also a short drive away. For eligible veterans, admission to the Arkansas Veterans Home at Fayetteville may be supported in part by VA Aid and Attendance benefits, the Arkansas Veterans Home program, and other state and federal funding streams, potentially reducing the out-of-pocket burden significantly.
