Set atop scenic Petit Jean Mountain on 188 pastoral acres, the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute was originally part of Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller’s homestead and model cattle farm. Our rugged, yet sophisticated, natural setting provides the place to go for true immersion experiences and opportunities to discover fresh perspectives.

Committed to acting as a catalyst, our vision involves combining Gov. Rockefeller’s legacy and ideas with the resources and expertise of the state’s premier university system. This educational environment provides the sense of place, history and change needed to pursue progress with and for all Arkansans. Our mission is to develop diverse programs that nurture ideas, policies and activities to make life better in Arkansas.
 
We invite you to come for a program that we have planned – or use the accommodations at our Lodge and Conference Center to plan your own retreat, meeting or family outing.
