About Little Rock

The history of the city is rich, spanning from pioneer days in the 19th century to presidential elections in the close of the 20th century and with everything from the Civil War to the civil rights movement in between.

Today, in downtown Little Rock, the old and new mix well together. Stately antebellum structures and ornate Victorian buildings neighbor gleaming new glass-facade skyscrapers stretching up into the river city's skyline with scenic, natural surroundings providing the backdrop.

Whether you are flying or driving, the central location and national airport make Little Rock convenient and accessible. The Peabody Hotel and convention center are located just moments from the airport and within walking distance of the acclaimed River Market District with river walks, restaurants, nightlife, museums and the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park. All across the city, Little Rock’s unique neighborhoods provide excellent dining, shopping, sports and entertainment opportunities.
