A place worth knowing

Make room for Little Rock.

Let Little Rock be a place for thoughtful interpretation as well as a local meal. A civil-rights visit, art collection and historic museum offer different experiences. Choose what matters to your group and leave room for reflection and the actual journey between stops.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site

Begin with the National Park Service visitor information and arrange a ranger-led program in advance where offered. Current interpretive programs do not include the school interior; this remains an active school, not an unrestricted museum building.
