Great Place To Stay And Enjoy
Murfreesboro, Arkansas, has a rich history that can be traced back to its settlement in the early 1800s. Originally known as the "Village of Cerro Gordo," the town was founded by settlers who were attracted to the region's abundant natural resources, such as fertile land and nearby mineral deposits. In 1906, the discovery of diamonds in the area sparked a brief but intense diamond rush, leading to the establishment of the renowned Crater of Diamonds. This newfound source of wealth transformed the town into a bustling mining hub, drawing fortune seekers from all over. In 1972 the State of Arkansas purchased the land and created the Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only diamond mine in the world open to the public.
