“The Old State House Museum was constructed by architect Gideon Shryock, who previously designed the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort. The house was formerly called the Arkansas State House. The Greek Revival-style building is nationally recognized as the backdrop for President Bill Clinton's election night celebrations. The house aims to interpret the history of Arkansas from statehood to the present, to maintain the Old State House, and to collect and preserve artifacts that help in that interpretation and preservation. The museum also offers many outreach programs for schools and other groups, and organizations. The Old State House Museum is the most popular museum program, and some are provided only as outreach programs. Metered parking spaces are available in front of the museum and in the surrounding areas.”
