The Collins Theater Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, was created in 1990 to transform the Collins Theatre into a modern community arts center. It is also responsible for the theatre’s day-to-day maintenance and management. The Collins Theater, formerly the Capitol Theater, was constructed in 1925. It has a proud history in the community and provided a wide range of entertainment, from Broadway Shows to Vaudeville performances, to first-rate movies. The Collins is now being used by the community for a wide range of cultural and general entertainment events – beauty pageants, fashion shows, dramatic plays, summer musicals and revues, children’s theatre events, gospel music and country and western shows. |  Crowley's Ridge State Park
Crowley’s Ridge State Park is located in Paragould on the former homestead of Benjamin Crowley, whose family first settled the area, and still contains native log and stone structures. The park includes both a fishing lake and a swimming lake, in addition to four fully equipped modern duplex cabins with kitchens, a group lodging area, and 26 campsites. Crowley’s Ridge State Park offers interpretive programs and summer camps and programs for children. | Greene County Historical and Genealogicial Society The Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society was organized in 1987. Their purpose is to preserve and publish Greene County history and to educate the public about Greene County history and families. Planned future publications include a probate index, obituaries, gleanings from the Paragould Soliphone, and a directory of Greene County churches – past and present. The Research Center allows the community to explore their heritage through the 140 books on display and the numerous rolls of microfilm, microfiche, periodicals, and computer disks. For more information about the Historical Society or to support their endeavors through your time or a tax deductible donation, call (870) 240-8944, email
