Legend says James Draughon won a huge pot in a poker game by playing the ace
of clubs. The house's floor plan is based on the club on that card. The elegant
1885 Italianate-Victorian house is furnished as a living museum. Extensive
restoration uncovered original wall coverings, which have been reproduced.
Mahogany treatment on the paneling is embellished with gold leaf. Original
furnishings. Open 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Tue.–Sat. Call for tour times. Admission
charge. 420 Pine St. 903/793-4831. www.texarkanamuseums.org.
