the biggest airport in the state is in little rock. there are smaller commercial airports around the state, in fort smith, for instance, but i am not sure where else. several cities have small noncommercial airports for charters or personal planes. nearby large airports in neighboring states are tulsa, oklahoma, and memphis, tennessee.
you can get a shuttle bus between the little rock airport and the memphis airport
("bette's bus," 800/752-8745; also try 501/821-7797 or 501/223-3338 for limousine service) and, i think, between the little rock airport and downtown hot springs (501/821-7797 or 501/223-3338 for limousine service). better check on these for sure before you count on them. i am guessing that the airport management office for little rock (501/372-3439) is probably the best place to start looking for this information.

the public transportation system in little rock (buses) is extensive but extremely unwieldy and time-consuming. as a practical matter, it is almost impossible to get anywhere in or around the city without a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Union Station Little Rock
Arkansas by mafootje
The station itself has been built in 1921 after the destruction of the previous station in 1921. Ripleys believe it or not had this station listed once as largest railroad station served by just on railroad.

It's a lot of country here. If you like big city life, you are in the wrong place. The closest you will get to city life is on McCain Mall area in North Little Rock and or Shacklford in West Little Rock. Black people beware of racism when looking for a job or going to Cabot and other areas outside city limits. Don't act on it, just try to ignore it to avoid trouble.

One of my best friends works part time at the museum. Sometimes she is dressed in period clothes and is working in the kitchen on the tour. I visited in March and got to see her in action. She baked a cake in the morning using a dutch oven and hot coals over and under the oven. In the afternoon she was demonstrating how to spin wool. She was also discussing how the wool is dyed. I learned something interesting which is that most colors were made using various plants just boiled in water - and the color would come out in the water. But the color blue was special. The plant used for blue required an acid to pull the color out, so they usually mixed urine in to make blue!! haha!! I don't think I'd be wanting any blue clothes! :D
The galleries I walked thru which are part of the free part of the museum were interesting. There was an exhibition up about various women's purses. :)
If you are in the River Market area with some free time on your hands, stop by the museum and spend the $2.50 for the tour! :) Leave a Comment Address: 200 E.

Just the outside appearance of this place is enough to invoke curiosity. Once inside, the exhibits and scenic views are great. We were impressed by the exhibits and displays that created a wonderful trip down memory lane. Of course, Bill Clinton's era of history is my era also, so it was quite poignant. There are many items displayed that were gifts to the Clintons from countries around the world. Once inside, there is a great view of the Little Rock City Skyline. Take time to visit the Oval Office room and The Cabinet Room. There are plenty of docents to answer questions and offer information.
The bridge that is beside the library is scheduled to be restored as part of a 13 acre park around the center. There is plenty of free parking here. Entrance price has a Senior's Discount.
Bill was at the library the day before we visited. Leave a Comment

On the morning of September 23, 1957, nine African-American teenagers held the line against an angry mob protesting integration in front of Little Rock's Central High School. As the students met their new classmates for the first time inside the school, outside violence escalated and the Little Rock police removed the Nine from the school for their safety. The next day, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock to escort the nine students into the school. One of the nine later remembered, “After three full days inside Central, I knew that integration is a much bigger word than I thought.”

"In September 1957, Little Rock's Central HS became a crucial battleground in the struggle for civil rights. The nation sat transfixed as nine black students attempted to enter the previously all-white school. While a hostile crowd watched, Arkansas Nationa Guard troops blocked their entrance.
Three weeks later, after negotiations between the Arkansas Governor and President Eisenhower failed to resolved the stalemate, Eisenhower called the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division to escort and protect the nine students entering the school. The conflict was only beginning...
...Come to Central H.S. and see first-hand how Little Rock came to symbolize the federal government's commitment to eliminating separate systems of education for blacks and whites.
The Museum and Visitor's Center occupies a former Mobil service station now restored, that is located across the street from Central H.S."
~ Museum Brochure
Unfortunately the museum was closed when I tried to visit, but I was utterly amazed at the enormous size of Central H.S. It really is a sight to see!! It is open Monday - Saturday 9am - 4:30pm and on Sunday from 1pm - 4:30pm. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. Leave a Comment Address: 2125 Daisy L.
