With so much history and culture rooted in Arkansas, there are landmarks throughout our state. From historic war landmarks, statues, and parks, to preserved homesteads and plantations, you can experience the rich heritage and history of the region. 

The Arkansas State Capitol is lush with landmarks, including monuments for The Little Rock Nine, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Medal of Honor Memorial, Law Enforcement Officers' Memorial, War of 1812 Memorial Fountain, War Prisoners' Marker, Bauxite and Granite Mountain Boulders, Monuments to Confederate Soldiers and Confederate Women, and the American Revolution Bicentennial Monument and Fountain.
