I loved the whole building inside and out. I always have. I have been to the building so many times that I can't count them all. It's structure and atmosphire is wonderful. The Memorbila is great! The view of the Arkansas River is breathtaking. I can imagine what it must have looked like back when it was the capital of Arkansas. "If walls could talk, what would they say?" If you get the chance go and take your children. It is well worth the trip!
The Old State House Museum is a wonderful old building full of history. We were a bit rushed, since we arrived at 4pm and they close at 5pm on Saturdays. We were able to take our time in the Dresses of the First Ladies exhibit. What a neat museum and you can't beat the price, free! We could have spent hours there and had a wonderful afternoon.
