How Sam Walton’s small-town storefront grew into the world’s largest retailer.  Participants  will visit the original Walton’s 5&10 store on the downtown square, now home to the recently-renovated Walmart Museum, and packed with vintage charm, fun throwbacks, and classic merchandise. From there, travel to the new, state-of-the-art Walmart Home Office for a personal tour. The campus is spread over 350 acres and includes 12 buildings arranged in neighborhoods surrounded by green spaces and connected by seven miles of pedestrian trails. All in the heart of Bentonville.
