Historic Site History Museum Must See

• ©

Learn about one of the most trying times in the nation's history at Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, the scene of many tense moments in the battle to desegregate America's public education. In 1957, the first black students enrolled at the school, but were blocked on orders of the governor and later escorted to class under the protection of U.S. Army troops. Join a guided tour, led by a park ranger, and see the sites and settings of those pivotal moments as you wander the school and delve deeper into its history and context. Be sure to make a tour reservation ahead of time, as that's the only way to access the site and space is limited.

  A very interesting way to see a piece of American History. I recommend signing up for their tour. Our guide was outstanding.

  The staff here are great, and I personally attend the high school here, although I think its best to go during the summer or a day when students aren't in school. This is mainly because the students will limit the places you can see in the school with classes in session and all. Nevertheless, the museum is set up very well and organized in a simplistic way.
