The capital of Arkansas, Little Rock is the most populous city in the state, packed with history, parks, and entertainment.

You can tour the state capital. Built in 1899, this beautiful building was once a state prison. Now, it's full of marble and limestone finishes, as well as a 24-carat gold leaf cupola. The city is home to a Confederate War Prisoners monument you can also tour. It's only natural to visit the Old State House next. It's a National Historic Landmark and home to exhibits and displays featuring Arkansas' history, including textiles, pottery, and flags. The building, now a museum, dates back to 1833. Bill Clinton celebrated his election night in this building in 1992.
