Sites In Arkansas

The Clinton Presidential Center stands on the edge of the Arkansas River in Little Rock, surrounded by a 28-acre public park. It serves as a presidential library and museum, as well as an occasional venue for local events. Permanent and rotating exhibits include insights on the life and career of the 42nd president and first family, including artifacts, photos, and a full-scale replica of the Oval Office. The concept behind the building, which is meant to resemble a bridge, came from the six bridges over the Arkansas River. Metaphorically, it stands as a bridge between the past and future. Thorncrown Chapel, in Eureka Springs, is a uniquely designed glass and wood structure located in a beautiful natural woodland setting. The high glass walls look out on the surrounding forest, giving the feeling of being right in the woods. The chapel is 48 feet tall and has more than 6,000 square feet of glass. Sunday services are held at 9am and 11am throughout the summer, with one 11am service in the winter. Admission is free, and tourists are encouraged to visit during operating hours.
