Questions

Common questions.

What is in Earle's old depot?
The 1922 railroad depot now houses the Crittenden County Museum.
What is Earle's history?
Earle and neighboring Norvell grew up together after the Civil War timber boom, and the 1888 railroad line bypassed Norvell. Earle incorporated in 1905 and annexed Norvell in 1978. A German POW camp operated in 1944-1946.
What historic structures are in Earle?
The George Berry Washington Memorial, built in 1928, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Two Quonset huts from the POW camp remain off Highway 118.
Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?
Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
