St. Joseph Center of Arkansas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed to preserve the former St. Joseph Orphanage which is on the National Historic Register. Through the efforts of SJCA, St. Joseph Center will return to its original roots as a self-sustaining farm. Instead of supporting an orphanage, the 56,000 sq. ft. building and 63 acre property will continue to serve and support the community through art, farming, agritourism, and agricultural education.
