MacArthur Museum of
Military History was
created to interpret our state's military heritage from its territorial
period to the present.
Located in the historic Tower Building of the Little Rock Arsenal--the
birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur--the museum preserves the
contributions of Arkansas men and women who served in the armed forces.
Exhibits feature artifacts, photographs, weapons, documents, uniforms
and other military items to vividly portray Arkansas's military history,
at home and abroad.
The
Museum of
the Confederacy
prides itself on an active calendar
throughout
the year. The exciting, fun and educational events
are
designed
to inspire and illuminate our visitors on a wide range of both the
interesting
topics and the historic personalities of the
Confederacy.
Some
programs, like our Celebrate South Weekend are offered on an annual
basis.
Others, like book signings, children programs or special workshops,
happen
as the opportunity presents.
Old State House Museum
is the oldest standing state capitol building west of the Mississippi
