About Alice

Northwest Arkansas is home, a truth that Alice Walton has never been confused about. Across many of her projects, she has sought to show others its beauty and value. Alice values the quality of life in Bentonville and enjoys time spent at Crystal Bridges, shopping at the local farmer’s market to cook a meal for family, joining community meetings alongside her neighbors, and finding joy in nature by hiking or casting a line on the region’s trails and streams.
