A Big Time in Little Rock

We really enjoyed our time in Little Rock, Arkansas. The highlight of our trip was a visit to the Little Rock Central High School where in 1957 the Little Rock 9 integrated the school.

African-American students entering the school was international news. The renovated gas station below had a payphone where all the journalists called in their stories. (Hard to imagine in these days of cell phones and laptops.)

The William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library was closed due to Covid -19, but its a cool building. We will return some day for the tour.

Big Dam Bridge is the longest pedestrian and bicycle bridge in North America. This bridge spans 4,226 feet atop Murray Lock and Dam and rises 90 feet above the Arkansas River.

Our RV site was right along the Arkansas River. We had great views of the skyline at night.
