A delightful museum highlighting WWII and Vietnam histories. We walked through the building on a self-guided tour after visiting the Arkansas Arts Center. Loved it.

A nice little museum showcasing US military, especially in reference to Arkansan military. This is one of the oldest buildings in Little Rock and is the site of many important Arkansas events, such as the start of the Civil War in the state, as well as the birth of General Douglas MacArthur. It’s got some decent exhibits on all manner of wars where Arkansas citizens are involved, as well as some on the acclaimed general and the suffragettes. Best of all, it’s free admission. Might as well go if you’re in the area.

Learned some Arkansas history. I just recently moved here. The historical objects were artfully displayed. Our docent was informative. Cool building and grounds.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice park and miseumWe foumd the miseum educational and pleasant to visit. Its free.

Very cool, if you are into this I also suggest the military museum in jackson.

Birthplace of Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur in 1880. Its a Great museum to the early history of The Arsenal in Little Rock, which was used as a frontier Arsenal and Command camp for AR and FT Smith. In the time when the AR became a state and it closed in 1890.Holds military artifacts from 1840 to 1970And Gen Mac Arthur memoribilia. An old soldier never dies, they just fade away. God Bless all, safe travels.

Went on a trip with a bunch of friends and we had a great time! Loved all the exhibits and the little presentation we got at the beginning :)

If you love military history or history in general this is a must see!!

This is a great little Museum. Its free to the public so if you have an hour or more its a wonderful place to walk around and learn about General MacArthur.

This museum has something for everyone! Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam. I especially loved the room with war posters. If you like a guided tour theres even an option to call a phone number for one as you walk around. Definitely recommend this museum if youre in the area and love history.

Building was in good condition but we could not enter the museum

I have lived in Arkansas all of my life and never knew this place existed. I learned and saw many things that I never knew.It is well worth the time one will spend going here.There is no entrance fee, they just ask for donations. If you are near this museum, drop by. I dont think you will regret the time spent.

This museum is well worth visiting. General Douglas MacArthur was born and had his earliest memories there. It started as a frontier guard post and has been lovingly restored to guard the past and associated artifacts.The building is a beautifully restored military post with wonderful architecture and filled with pictures, portraits, and period furniture. The bathroom were very warm, which was much appreciated on a frosty January evening.I attended their monthly screening of a free military-related film or documentary. In this case the film was the excellent Military Brats documentary (Our Journey Home) narrated by Kris Kristofferson. This film reflects on the impact of military life on dependents with interviews of Kristofferson and other Military Brats, including Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf. I very much enjoyed the film and the discussion afterward. Free popcorn and beverages made the evening complete.I did have to climb a lot of steps to enter the building and another large flight to the second floor. It was well worth it. I did not check to see whether an elevator is available, so you might want to call in advance if you have mobility issues.

Just reopened. Did a good job of redoing this museum. Contains a lot of information.

Great historical museum with lots of pieces to enjoy and lots to learn from. Thank you!

Awesome representation of what Arkansas went through in Combat, starting at the Civil War.

Excellent memorial to one of the US greatest generals. He helped to defeat Japan, save Australia, the Philippines, and South Korea. Amazing man with guts. Without being strong against aggression, we will get run over.Building is beautifully kept. A real treasure for Little Rock!

Visiting this museum Ive learned more about Arkansas than what the books teach you for sure.. this museum is very informative an it has a lot for show and tell!!

Could use some updating through acquiring more historical artifacts. Over all a decent place to view some history.

I stopped by here one weekend looking for something to do. I was glad I made that decision. There are several rooms with displays from various time periods - from the Civil War to WWII. There is an upstairs where you can continue on with your tour. It didnt take me very long to go through but I thought it was well worth my time. It was kind of interesting to discover that General MacArthur was born in this building.

Went on a school field trip with my son very convenient the way they have it set up where you can do a self guided tour by calling and getting a description about which part of the exhibit youre looking at we went for the civil war day and they had very interesting things to look at and the people there were very helpful about answering questions

Great place to learn about Arkansas history. Civil War to current .... children and adults can learn something here.

Let me start by saying this museum is FREE. There is a small park with a Korean War memorial and areas to read and learn more about the area. The museum itself has information about the Civil War thru the Vietnam war. There are actual exhibits but there are a lot of pictures with explanations so if youre not much of a reader you may not like that. There is a section that tells about General MacArthurs career. It told about the Japanese American experience and womens role during WWII. However, even though it briefly touched on the African American experience it wasnt a lot. We enjoyed this museum over all. As stated before there is information I didnt know and found interesting.

Love..love this place. The activitys they have are AWESOME.

Very good history lesson that no one should forget.

Is a great free museum. Excellent displays and very thorough. I really enjoyed spending time there.

Well preserved military history. Free admission, however, they do accept donations. Well worth the time spent there.

Mainly written stories but a few artifacts. General MacArthurs life history plus other Arkansas military history.

Great,I love the history here, it reminds me why my school was named after the man.

Loved it! Lots of history.

So much history in one place

A wonderful place, the grounds as well as the museum are fantastic! Take your family to experience all this historic building has to offer along with decades of military history!

Great place to visit! Lots of information and interesting displays. Hope to go again.

Interesting place to check out if you are a military or history buff. Has Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam War, and Aesthetic Club exhibits. The property also includes a park and commerative monuments. Good place to spend an afternoon.

A very unique place to go you learn a lot of history

Used to love our museum growing up but it gradually got worse in the past 25 years. Used to have all kinds of interesting exibits, mummies, a big bald eagle, the tucker telephone, civil war exhibits, etc., then it went downhill as all of that went away and now its a military museum. Im sure someone padded their pockets nicely selling off all of the old exibits.

MacArther Museum covers so much stuff from thh Civil War through Viet Nam really interesting and it is free. Highly reccomend it.

So interesting! I lovely small museum with unique pieces.

Very interesting. Lot of history from a great men.

Very educational. Tells you about the wars and battles we fought in the past.

Fun

Great people, wonderful history.

This small museum in Arkansas is free to attend and quite interesting. I learned a lot about the civil war in Arkansas and the history of the building. Also has some rotating exhibits.

I was surprised one nice lady who is monitoring the museum was studying in one of my city universities.

Great history Warning if u are psychic or can see ghost stay away!

Great museum I go all the time .

This place is always interesting to come walk thru. Its a quiet and thoughtful place with loads of rich history. Of course you can just walk thru and look at the artifacts, kind of just a whats on the surface walk thru. OR you can take a little more time to read the information, watch the film and ask questions. There is a room with several binders of pictures and explainations and peoples names. There are memorials, a play ground, lake and other beautiful scenery outside.

It was good, but not as good as Pattons museum at Fort Knox. No quotes from MacArthur and not as much detail on his battles.

Bit old, but good history even with three stars if you have 1hr. Stop by IV moved this up a Star. There been up grads

Great FREE local museum. Covers more than just MacArthur.

If you like military history, this is a place you need to check out. They have a section with tons of military photos most have never seen before.

The museum was closed and there were no statues of MacArthur outside which was disappointing. The Korean War memorial was very nice.

My great grandfather was in world war 2 so it reminds me of him

Great history lesson from the person who greeted us.

Took a friend from the Philippines to visit. He loved it. He didnt realize that General MacArthur was born in Little Rock.

Informative. Enjoyed the artfacts

Filled with a ton of history

There were a great number of very important historically significant military events and people in our great state. The museum has a great tour and is a fantastic place to take your kids to make some of the things they study get grounded in face-to-face knowledge.

I visit this museum regularly - they always have good programs. I was there for the screening of the Trial of David O. Dodd. A documentary produced in the very room where the proceedings took place. The Union had taken over the museum for their headquarters.

Well balanced, readily accessible displays. Handicap accessible.

The 125th celebration was wonderful. So glad the McArthur Museum has received a needed restoration.

This is an old building with an incredible amount of historical artifacts . The exhibits span WWI action in the Philippines, WWII and the Korean War. The Korean War Memorial outside is also great. The houses around the museum are beautiful as well. Free!

Some old stuff in there

Free museum, excellent history and displays. Must see.

Fantastic museum! The Allison collection of WWII photographs was especially interesting

Recently reopened after building improvements. Free admission, interesting exhibits.

A very interesting museum with very good reproductions and original items. The museum is housed in one of the buildings of the old arsenal. Part of the museum focuses on General Douglas MacArthur because he was born in Arkansas. The rest of the museum centers around Arkansass participation in various wars from the Civil War to Vietnam. Very informative museum, with friendly staff. My favorite was the WWII Willys Jeep on display, as well as their Arkansas Medal of Honor exhibit.

Great place. Lots of history.

Great museum. Historic building and grounds. Admission is free. A must see if you are in Little Rock!!

Way too sympathetic to the Confederate cause in the Civil War. Get over your racist past, Little Rock.

Excellent facility with tons of history

Wonderful military museum

Some might not agree but it does an honest job of Arkansas history, its sacrifice in times of war and of Gen MacArthur.

Good museum to visit for war buff. Had a pretty interesting history of Jeep.

Theres no exhibit that shows black soldiers that have given their lives to this country. There was very many who were forced to fight in all wars in this country. And many have volunteered their lives also! Not to many museums in this country gives the black soldiers the respect they deserve. I can see they have given the racist traitor KKKonfederates more respect at this Museum...

Awesome exhibits and very informative.

Always find ducks with hooks in them. Trash is always everywhere

Beautiful place!!! Learned a lot!!

Best MacArthur Ive been to.

A Little Rock gem! Wonderful museum!

Awesome experience and knowledgeable staff.

Awesome museum, history nerds will love this place, I know I did!

Every military buff better visit this place. Well done.

Free and very informative.

Was interesting.

Fantastic museum of military history.

It was very informative!!

It was very interesting to see and learn about the history at that time.

Hidden gem! Set aside an hour or so for a visit to the informative displays on General MacArthur and his feud with President Truman plus interesting local perspective on the Civil War.

Very informative

Very interesting!

Son, was working there, but, I did not get the pleasure.

Interesting

Good to teach Arkansas history

Go visit

Nice place to visit

Very fun and educational, free admission

Free Admission: multiple rooms on historical Arkansas figures

My child love this museum
