What an interesting visit we had, we visited as part of our road trip and are so glad we did. We had read a bit about the museum before we came, but there is nothing like being there and reading/listening to the audio that is available. This was quite an eye opener for us and makes you appreciate how easy... More

Very eerie to see the building in person after seeing in black and white on TV. Surrounding neighborhood has certainly declined.

The Central High School building itself is worth seeing--just to take in the massive, impressive, majestic architecture and landscaped grounds. School was in session--and no litter, all beauty.

My family of five and my best friend's family of five visited Little Rock in March of 2013. We saw the reviews regarding the Central High Museum and Visitor Center and had to stop. I am so glad that we did! When you stand in the museum, looking out the large window at the high school in the background, and... More
