1 review of Arkansas State Capitol

History, architecture, and memorials at the Arkansas Capitol

The Arkansas State Capitol is the home of the Arkansas state government and one of the most iconic places in Little Rock, Arkansas. The capital building was built over 100 years ago of sterling white limestone and the gardened grounds have several monuments to Veterans, Civil War soldiers, Confederate Women, Civil Rights leaders, and Medal of Honor winners.

The Arkansas State Capitol is open throughout the entire work week and you can go and visit and even take a tour of the building and gardens. You can arrange guided tours by calling ahead, but they also have audio and PDF guides for download. The best option is probably downloading the audio guide to your smartphone to explore the capitol while learning a bit about the history behind the various monuments and architectural motifs.


Speaking of architecture, some of the rooms are really quite beautiful. The Old Supreme Court chambers and the Governor's reception room are true works of art and have been restored perfectly. And, as it's a public building, the visit are free! It's not a place to spend an entire day (unless you're an Arkansas history buff!) but it's a nice and interesting morning visit in downtown Little Rock.
