Welcome to Foreman!
Whether you're looking for a great fishing destination, a once-in-a-lifetime trophy elk or whitetail deer hunt or just want to take in the great outdoors for a few days, Foreman is the perfect place to do it!
 Southwest Arkansas and Foreman are known for their prize game and fish. It's a sportsman's paradise.
The area's unspoiled natural surroundings and miles of river and lake shoreline make Southwest Arkansas one of the best kept secrets in the 'Natural State'. And Foreman sits right in the middle of it all!
At less than 20 miles off Interstate 30, Foreman makes a wonderful small town excursion during RV trips. Take in some shopping in old downtown, stop by the museum for an interesting look at the areas pioneering history or just enjoy the view as you pass through for lunch at one of the local diners.
Foreman is full of friendly folks, and we're always happy to talk to strangers!
So take time to discover the road less traveled... discover Foreman.

Community Center to Reopen Soon |
|
The computer lab at the Nelda Wilkinson Educational Center is one step closer to its grand
reopening, thanks to a generous donation by Ash Grove Cement, in Foreman.
“We at Ash Grove are committed to our community and to doing what we can to benefit the residents of
Foreman,” said Cary Austell, president of the company.
The $2500 donation will be used to purchase workstations for the lab and its 10 computers, which were given by
both David Wilkinson of Foreman and Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas.
“The teamwork between so many that has catapulted this project is such an encouragement to me,” said Steve
Cole, chancellor of Cossatot. His words were echoed by Mike Cranford, treasurer of the city of Foreman, who first
approached Ash Grove regarding their gift.
“I am dedicated to doing everything I can for the city of Foreman and it’s an honor to be able to help facilitate
this project,” he said. “And I’m grateful for the many who have stepped up to make it happen.”
The lab is expected to reopen in April, with a ceremony sponsored by the city of Foreman and Cossatot. |

Patience pays off. Foreman is getting a new water tower! |
 With the base set, the main stack for the new water tower is carefully hoisted into place.More than a decade after officially voting to replace it's old, dilapidated water tower, Foreman residents will soon be drinking from a brand new tank. After evaluating it for upgrades and maintenance over 11 years ago, the city council then determined the old water tower would be less costly to replace than renovate. Since that time, the tower has stood largely unchanged receiving only essential maintenance to ensure safety and water quality. However, the exterior could not be painted because it was coated in older, lead-based paint which, according to State and Federal regulations, would have entailed an enormous cost to strip and dispose of properly. So, the old tank stood in disrepair as the city worked to save money and secure funding for a new one.
