A few block from the Clinton Center is Historic Arkansas, a city block of houses and a tavern.  They were built in the 1820's when the territorial capital of Arkansas was moved from Arkansas Post to Little Rock.  Little Rock was a new planned city when it was chosen as the site for the new territorial capital.  In the 1920 a group of ladies realized that many of the original homes and businesses were being torn down and they purchased the building on this block.  All but one is in its  location and the one that is not was moved only to a new location on the block.  There is a charge to tour and tours are with a guide who can tell you the history of the times and the buildings.  There is also a museum with traveling exhibits on site.
