In 1930, the Paragould meteorite fell from the sky in a fireball over northeast Arkansas.
Weighing in at over 800 pounds, it is the second largest observed meteorite to ever be recovered in North America.
The meteorite was sold and changed hands several times, making it all the way to the Field Museum in Chicago before eventually returning home to Arkansas.
It was displayed on loan from the Field at the University of Arkansas from 1988 through 2023.
Now it is being displayed at the Greene County Museum in Paragould.
The Paragould meteorite is without a doubt the farthest traveling Arkansas treasure.
