Must See for Arkansas Civil War Buffs…..

Monday, June 13th, 2011

After 150 years and way too many movies, many of us have an unrealistic view of life in Arkansas in the Civil War era. The Historic Arkansas Museum’s feature this month makes a great use of a classic movie, “Gone With the Wind” and visual material from that difficult time in our history to clear the air.

Movie costumes, photos, and outtakes, allow visitors to enter the world of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler, with all it’s glamor and romance. Real photos and artifacts draw the viewer to another world altogether. One where life was anything but romantic, real people living very real lives.

Minutes away from Historic Arkansas Museum , we invite you to enjoy a glimpse of the reality of our local history.

Staycations in Little Rock, AR

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Why would anyone consider Little Rock, Arkansas a good location for a Staycation? Are you kidding me?

Little Rock offers so many wonderful options, and because of the size of the city, relatively close together.

Like the outdoors? Climb Pinnacle Mountain in the morning and rent a bike in the afternoon. Walk the River Path and enjoy the beauty of the Arkansas River – from the middle. The Big Damn Bridge offers an incredible view!

Big name concerts play a Verizon Arena all the time, pick a favorite and spend time in the River Market while you’re waiting. Live music abounds at Little Rocks restaurants and clubs. The Ark. Repertory Theater presents wonderful traveling shows. We even have a long standing dinner theater called Murry’s for those who want a taste of local actors!

Love museums? The Arkansas Art Center, Historic Arkansas Museum, William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Museum, (to name just a few!) can easily fill several days.

What is your pleasure? Find it in Little Rock!
