Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site

Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site interprets the 1957 desegregation crisis and the experiences of the Little Rock Nine.
The site connects a nationally significant civil rights story with an active school and its surrounding neighborhood, making respectful, informed visiting especially important.
Start with National Park Service visitor information and check whether a ranger-led program needs a reservation. The school remains in use, so interior access is controlled and should never be assumed. Leave time for interpretation and use designated visitor areas while respecting students and school operations.
