The Little Rock
Visitor Information
Center opened
in May 2002 in the
MacArthur Park Historic
District in downtown
Little Rock. It is located
in the historic Walters-
Curran-Bell House,
also known as Curran Hall, built in 1842 by Col.
Ebenezer Walters as a wedding gift for his bride, Mary
Eliza Starbuck. The property, listed in the National
Register of Historic Places, was later owned by James
Moore Curran and his wife, Sophie Fulton, daughter
of William Savin Fulton, Arkansas’s last territorial
governor and first U. S. senator. Other owners
included Mary Eliza Woodruff Bell, daughter of
William E.Woodruff, founder of the Arkansas Gazette.
Averell Reynolds Tate, Bell’s granddaughter, was the
last resident of the house and lived in Curran Hall
until the early 1990s. The city of Little Rock and the
Little Rock Advertising and Promotion Commission
acquired the house in 1996 and renovated it to
serve as the city’s first official visitor information and
welcome center. The visitor center is operated by the
Quapaw Quarter Association. ●

The MacArthur
Museum of
Arkansas Military
History, located in
the historic Arsenal
Building, interprets
our state’s military
heritage and honors
the contributions of
Arkansas servicemen
and women, at home
and abroad, who
served in military conflicts from the state’s
territorial period to the present.
The Arsenal Building, a National Historic
Landmark and one of Little Rock’s oldest surviving
structures, was built in 1840 to protect Arkansans
from Indian attack. It witnessed pivotal
exchanges between Federal and Confederate
forces during the Civil War and later became
the birthplace of General of the Army Douglas
MacArthur. The MacArthur Museum of Arkansas
Military History ensures that “old soldiers never
die.” Instead, their sacrifice and service are
preserved for future generations. ●

In September 1957
Little Rock Central
High School became
a crucial battleground
in the struggle for
civil rights. The nation
watched as nine
African-American
teenagers attempted
to enter the all-
white school only to
be turned away by
Arkansas National
Guard troops. The crisis that followed put on
trial America’s commitment to its founding
principles. The nine students’ courageous
demand for equal rights brought the nation
further along its path of democracy for all.
Visit Little Rock Central High School National
Historic Site and see the place where history
was made. Learn more about the events that
challenged the citizens of this nation to debate
the meaning of equal rights—a debate that
continues today. Listen as the participants tell
their stories about what happened at the school,
and test your knowledge of your own rights
under the Constitution. This is a history lesson
you’ll never forget. ●

D iscover the world
year-round at
the Little Rock
Zoo! Since 1926, the
zoo has been one of
Arkansas’s treasures. It
all began with a circus
bear and timber wolf.
Today, the Little Rock
Zoo is home to over
725 of the world’s
most exotic animals
– some of them rare
and endangered.
In fact, one of the
Little Rock Zoo’s most
important functions is
the conservation of wild animals. The zoo is one
of very few facilities certified to maintain and
breed maned wolves – the largest canine species.
There are believed to be fewer than 2,300 of
these unique creatures in existence today.
The zoo is also home to Jahari, a black rhino
– one of fewer than 750 left in the world. The
loving and expert care the animals receive at
the zoo has helps many of its inhabitants live
exceptionally long lives. The Little Rock Zoo is
home to two Asian elephants named Ellen and
20
21
Mary who are both about to turn 60! This has been
Ellen’s home since 1954.
Come experience the majesty of giraffes,
elephants and rhinos. Marvel at the strength
and beauty of lions, tigers, and jaguars in the Big
Cat Habitat. Take a stroll and catch a glimpse of
lemurs, spider monkeys, chimpanzees, orangutans,
and gorillas – including young Mosi, our baby
gorilla born right here, as well as Kendi, a baby
chimpanzee born in 2009. Treat yourself to a
relaxing and scenic ride on the train – or a thrilling
ride back into Arkansas history on the newly
restored Over the Jumps Carousel!
Or slither around to the Reptile House to go
face-to-fang with a deadly reptile. Don’t forget to
visit the Children’s Farm where you can get up-
close to the animals.
If you need a break from the action, stop at the
new Café Africa for a bite to eat.
And watch for exciting new attractions and
species on the way: penguins, cheetahs and the
expansive, multi-species African Veldt.
With new animals, exhibits, special events,
concerts and educational programs, the zoo is an
ever-changing recreational experience for children
of all ages. The zoo is located on 33 wooded acres
at I-630 and Fair Park Boulevard in Little Rock’s
convenient Midtown district, just minutes from
downtown or west Little Rock. ●
