Piggott is perhaps best known for its association with American writer and Nobel PrizeNobel laureate Ernest Hemingway, whose second wife Pauline Pfeiffer was the daughter of prominent local landowner and businessman Paul Pfeiffer. After meeting and marrying in Paris in the late 1920s, Ernest and Pauline made frequent and lengthy visits to her parent's home in Piggott, where Ernest wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls, portions of A Farewell to Arms, and other works. The Pfeiffer House and Carriage House are now preserved as the http://hemingway.astate.edu/ Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center, run by Arkansas State University. The 1957 movie A Face in the Crowd is set in Piggott. The town was mentioned in the 1990s television sitcom Evening Shade, set in Arkansas. The high school American footballfootball team coached by "Wood Newton" (played by Burt Reynolds), which almost always lost, celebrated when it tied Piggott High in a game.
