Little Rock Attractions

The majority of Little Rock's most popular and interesting attractions are in the downtown area. There you'll find several institutions and museums dedicated to the rich history of Little Rock and Arkansas. Be sure to visit the Central High School National Historic Site Museum, which chronicles and addresses the integration crisis of 1957. Also downtown and dedicated to black history and culture are EMOBA (Ernie's Museum on Black Arkansans) and Mosaic Templars Cultural Center.

Other interesting museums worth checking out downtown include the Historic Arkansas Museum and the Arkansas Art Center, which has a wonderful collection from artists such as Jackson Pollock, Georgia O'Keefe and Van Gogh, among other famous painters. The Arkansas State Capitol, with its striking architecture, is also worth seeing.

The Clinton Presidential Center and Library, located in downtown's River Market District, has the largest collection of presidential papers and artifacts. The River Market District is a vibrant area, with many restaurants, museums, galleries and shops.

Arkansas is home to a number of great parks and recreation centers, so check out the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, the Division of State Parks for more information.
