A great museum! I had a few hours before my flight home, and I'm so glad I found this museum. It wasn't busy at all, but it should be! So much amazing Military history, and stories. I operate a coffee shop inside of the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Downtown Chattanooga, so it was really cool to find connections to our own center, and see the Arkansas Medal of Honor Recipients. I will definitely be back to finish touring the museum.
A must see in the birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur and the admission is free. The museum showcases his 52 years of military career. It also houses some World War I memorabilia. You can tour the museum within an hour or so. Souvenir items are sold at a very reasonable price.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
A great little military museum housed in the historic barracks building of the former Little Rock Arsenal where Douglas Macarthur was born. The museum focuses on the military history of the US from a local, Arkansan perspective with a surprising number of exhibits, artifacts, and photos on display. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area, like military history, and want something to do for an hour or two. Best of all, the museum is free, which is pretty hard to beat.
For a detailed collection of Military history this is your place, with information from the Civil War thru World War II and exhibits with in depth facts this museum hit my history buff side well. The two levels inside could take a couple hours to read everything and with three kids 9 and under we made it thru in 35min with the kids mostly looking not reading the exhibits. Grounds outside are open and nearby parks gave us more time in nice weather to work off some more energy.
It was free! It had alot of historical items inside. 2 floors of military exhibits from The civil war to the Vietnam War. The building itself is very historic. There is also a reel on loop on the second floor about the life of Douglas MacArthur. Amazing stop.Visited onWeekdayWait time30–60 minReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree

Really informative over several wars in the last 200 years. Excellent artifacts and photos. Much to read. I wish it was more interactive. Too static.
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.
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.
