About

Doing great things with Arkansas history!

Story

Tens of thousands of Arkansans and tourists enter our doors each year — including thousands of schoolchildren — and are welcomed into a world where the past is alive.

Here, they connect with actual objects and hear real, first-person stories of Arkansas’s early days. They step into a house where trappers, boatmen and surveyors passed through; or into an exhibit that follows the path of Arkansas’s first people: the Caddo, Osage and Quapaw.

Open the door to Historic Arkansas—someone is always home.

Reviews
I was very pleasantly surprised by this museum. It includes a free portion (its internal galleries) and a paid portion (its external preserved half-block of Little Rock historical buildings). The external portion is only $2.50, and I believe that is more than reasonable. Some of the buildings are only viewable from the outside, but several are open for you to go inside and explore. Those buildings are staffed with reenactors, which makes your viewing more fun. The internal galleries include a permanent exhibit on Native American tribes and temporary exhibits. On the day I went, there was an excellent cross stitch sampler exhibit, art from different Arkansan counties, and a truly lovely exhibit from the collection of an art professor and his wife. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this museum and will go back in the future.

I've been here many times as s child and now as a teacher. I just realized during my last field trip that the houses are original. Like a little hamlet in time smack dab in the middle of the city. Amazing! The tour guides are always kind to our students and knowledgeable about Arkansas history.

This urban museum of Arkansas' history (including the actual building in which the state legislature first met--a pub with sleeping rooms--is a gem for those interested in American history of the 1820s and 1830s. The galleries are home to seasonal exhibits on the Bowie knife (in some circles called the "Arkansas Toothpick," and other interests from the state's history will satisfy your culture-hunger and give you a unique glimpse into one of America's charming small states.

They have a suprisingly sized gallery that is quite varied. It's easy to spend a whole day here. From the buildings that are outside and the art inside it's a great place.
