Discover Fowler

There are several ways to explore Fowler on a trip: the architectural history of the Benton County Courthouse, the modes of transportation at the Fowler Historical Society museum, and the year-round festival tradition. Wind farms in Benton County are another topic. This distinction is useful when planning your trip: the courthouse, museum, and festivals are associated with Fowler, while information about wind farms concerns the county as a whole. This lets you choose between a specific connection to the town, an event, and a regional technology topic.

The Courthouse’s Architectural History

The Benton County Courthouse in Fowler was built by Levi L. Leach in 1874 and designed in the Second Empire style. The land on which it stands was donated by the Moses Fowler family. The Second Empire style offers an architectural perspective; the year of construction and the builder add to its history. The land donation turns the focus to the history of the site. This lets you consider the design, construction, and location as distinct historical questions.

Museum and Local History

The Fowler Historical Society museum displays modes of transportation from earlier years and may inspire visitors to learn more about their hometown. It complements the Courthouse’s architectural history with a different subject: historic transportation. If you’d like to explore local history from different angles during your trip, architecture and transportation offer two distinct points of focus.

Festivals as a Reason to Visit

Fowler is known for year-round festivals that bring together residents and visitors from near and far. This tradition offers a possible event to plan your trip around, alongside a stay focused on the courthouse or museum. The year-round festival tradition and the date of a specific event are two different levels of planning: check the festival date if you’d like to plan your trip around it.

Wind Energy in Benton County

In Benton County, visitors can learn how wind farms were developed and built, and how they work. This topic relates to Benton County as a whole, the broader travel area; the courthouse and museum, by contrast, are associated with Fowler. Development, construction, and operation therefore offer a different focus from local architectural history and the modes of transportation on display at the museum.

A report published on May 17, 2025, described one-hour tours that included a visit to an operating wind turbine. The tours also included a close-up view of a 30.48-meter-long rotor blade. In 2025, a 30.48-meter-long rotor blade was on display in Fowler.

Finding Hotels Based on Your Reason for Visiting

For a festival visit, the specific date matters; for a stay focused on cultural history, you can choose between the courthouse and the museum. Wind energy is a topic associated with Benton County. This lets you distinguish a local focus for your stay from a regional interest.
