Pursuant to a final lease agreement with Henderson State University, the Captain Henderson House will reopen in August as an inn and event venue under the management of the David Goodman family of Arkadelphia.
The Goodmans hope to bring the historic home “back to life” by offering a memorable overnight lodging experience, and providing a unique and historic atmosphere for hosting weddings, meetings, and other special events.
David and Karrie Goodman have owned and operated Mary & Martha’s Florist and Gifts in Arkadelphia for 16 years. Their daughter, Addy Murphree, will manage the Captain Henderson House.
“A while ago, Henderson put out an inquiry for someone to run the house. That was the first thought of possibility for us,” said Murphree. “It wasn’t until this year, however, that we started tangibly dreaming about the hands we could extend in our community.
