On 5 October 2019, during the 189th semiannual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Bentonville Arkansas Temple. The Bentonville Arkansas Temple will be the first temple built in Arkansas.
On 23 April 2020, the location of the Bentonville Arkansas Temple was announced. The temple will be built on an 8.8-acre site located at 1101 McCollum Road behind the stake center for the Bentonville Arkansas Stake.
