Hoo Hoo Museum

The International Concatenated Order of the Hoo Hoo was founded in 1892 in Gurdon, Arkansas by lumbermen stranded in town. The fraternal lumbermen's organization has had from its inception a sense of humor about itself, naming its officers the Snark, Bo-jum, Sr. High Hoo Hoo, Jabberwock and other whimsical names. Along the nearby railroad tracks, a small statue commemorates the Hoo Hoo symbol, the black cat whose up-raised tail forms the number "9". The fraternal organization still thrives world-wide today.
