I know of no book published about Batesville covering 1950s- 1970s. There is a fine picture book titled "Images of America, Independence County Arkansas" by Brian K. Robertson and Nancy Britton. It chronicles the early years around 1900 up to around 1930s. It sells in our museum gift shop for $19.99. Come by and shop! Twyla Kay,

I have a friend that lived in Batesville around the 1950 through 1970, I have been looking for something like a book with photos of downtown Batesville and Business around that time. Really anything from that time frame, stories, records, newspapers, but expecially the photos. If anyone can help, I would really apprecate it. I have tried the book stores, and can not find that time frame only eariler. I love visiting your museum.
