Part of my site-seeing on this trip to Little Rock was a trip to the Old State House Museum.  This was designed and built after the captial of Arkansas Territoy was moved to Little Rock.  In recent years it has been the backdrop for several national news events.  The most famous if Bill Clinton's announcement that he was running for President.  The Museum has several permanent exhibits and a wing that has a traveling exhibit.  While I was visiting it was on the Civil War.  Above are some photos from the museum.
