Historic Arkansas Museum is home to a historic city block including the oldest building in Little Rock, an 1850's Farmstead, galleries of Arkansas-made art and history ranging from indigenous Arkansans to contemporary artists and artisans. Call if you have questions.*

Tens of thousands of Arkansans and tourists enter our doors each year — including thousands of schoolchildren — and are welcomed i

nto a world where the past is alive. Here, they connect with actual objects and hear real, first-person stories of Arkansas’s early days. They step into a house where trappers, boatmen and surveyors passed through; or into an exhibit that explores the bowie knife and its Arkansas connection. General Information

We wrapped up another great week of Camp Historic Arkansas! The “music makers” made their own instruments, learned to play them and performed songs and dance for their parents and friends. Thank you to all and especially our fabulous camp leader, Ramona!

Free honey?🍯 Yes, please! Visit us Saturday, June 6, 9-12, for the Bloom and Hive Hop, organized by our beekeepers, Calm + Confidence. Pick up your passport map at HAM and get it stamped at each location you visit. If you get five stamps, you can go to the final stop for a free jar of honey!

At HAM, our Master Gardeners and Herb Society volunteers will be on hand to talk to you all about the gardens they grow and keep. Enjoy a tasty bee balm bar made by the Herb Society and have a look at an observation hive. Stop by the Museum Store to purchase some HAM Hives honey harvested from our rooftop hives. Then check out some of the other downtown locations.
