Old State House Museum

Set in the oldest surviving state capitol west of the Mississippi River, the Old State House Museum has been designated a National Historic Landmark, though it is probably best known throughout the country as the scene of President Clinton’s 1992 and 1996 election night celebrations. This magnificent Greek Revival structure houses a multimedia museum of Arkansas history, with a special emphasis on women’s history, political history, and historical programming for school children. The Little Rock museum also boasts nationally recognized collections of Civil War battle flags, the inaugural gowns of governors’ wives, Arkansas art pottery, and African-American quilts. This beautiful Greek Revival structure was Arkansas's Capitol from 1836-1911. Features colorful historic exhibits.
