MARK YOUR CALENDARS! October 3, 2026. City Hall in Hollandale.

Details are in the planning stages to dig up and open a time capsule that was buried in 1976 just a couple of years after the new city hall was built. It has remained in that spot at the flagpole for nearly 50 years. The project to assemble and bury the capsule was organized by the Deer Creek Extension Homemakers Club. I remember folks from all over town getting different items of interest to put inside it. I was not there when it was buried but I remember my Mom getting some stuff together for it. I will be interested in seeing just what all is inside. I think I understand that the plan will be to re-bury it for another 50 years. I don't think I need to mark my calendar for that one! I heard from talking with friends in Hollandale that there may be another time capsule buried at the old hospital building on the new highway 61. I did not know about that one. More details to follow as we get them.

Not sure of the year

EARTHQUAKE!

A little excitement in the Delta ! Believe it or not about 4:30 pm today (Jan 8, 2019) a 3.7 magnitude earthquake centered about 6 miles Northwest of Hollandale hit and lasted for a few seconds rattling dishes over a wide area. We felt it in our office in Greenville, shaking our building, almost like a car hitting the structure. Two quick shocks and it was over. I heard that it was even felt in Arkansas. No damage was reported but a very unusual happening for the area. Scientists believe the 'quake was caused by one of 5 underground volcanoes under the Delta, all within a few miles. This one is called the Panther Burn Dome. Who knew?

Landmark Lost!
Here is all that is left of Booth's Drug Store on the corner of Washington & Morgan!
It burned in the early hours of this morning. (Oct 30, 2012).
It has been in recent times a resale shop.
