OLD STATE HOUSE MUSEUM

The Old State House Museum is the original state capitol building of Arkansas
and the oldest standing state capitol building west of the Mississippi River.

exhibits and events are open to the public.

the Old State House, and to collect and preserve artifacts that aid in that
interpretation and preservation.

OUR HISTORY

As the Old State House inches closer to being 200 years old, we recall the many
uses for this historic facility: the first capitol building for Arkansas, the
Arkansas War Memorial, home of the Arkansas State Police, medical school, and
now, of course, museum. The Old State House continues to play a vital role in
preserving, sharing, and celebrating the history of Arkansas and its people.

Since 1973, the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission (ANHC) has been working to
conserve Arkansas’s natural landscape through various field surveys. These
surveys and research projects have provided a wealth of information on more than
900 rare species that can be used to evaluate the relative imperilment of native
species and shared for environmental planning purposes. Our goal is to provide
an introduction to the natural treasures that are the heritage of every citizen
in Arkansas.

The Old State House Museum is the original state capitol of Arkansas. Since
1833, when construction began, the building and its grounds have witnessed many
of the most important events in Arkansas history. The Old State House has hosted
the admission of Arkansas to the Union, a fatal knife fight between two sitting
legislators, the Arkansas vote to secede from the United States and join the
Confederacy, pioneering medical research into hookworm and malaria, and two
acceptance speeches by the president of the United States.
