Our newest addition, the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center opened in September 2008. It tells the story of the Mosaic Templars of America, an organization, which from its founding in the late 1880s until the 1920s, amassed one of the largest concentrations of black-owned and controlled capital in the United States. The Mosaic Templars formed chapters in cities across the nation and in many foreign countries. The Cultural Center showcase exhibits, artifacts, spoken narratives and other materials and tells the story of Little Rock’s 9th Street area, which was the hub of commerce, art, civil rights and culture for the city’s black community until the 1960s.

The Historic Arkansas Museum is the state's primary interpreter of frontier Arkansas and its creative legacy. With four historic houses on their original sites and the premier collection of Arkansas-made decorative arts, the museum chronicles the social and political history of Arkansas in the 19th century. At the Historic Arkansas Museum you come face-to-face with history every day. The actors in the award-winning Living History program portray the lives of the early residents of the museum houses. The Visitors Center features exhibitions, a theater and a hands-on history room for kids.
