Little Rock is the largest city in the State of Arkansas as well as the state's capital and it makes for the perfect holiday destination all year round. Situated on the Arkansas River, this location is somewhat of a cultural hub, with various events, festivals, restaurants and museums, all amidst a picturesque and captivating landscape. In the 1960s, the city became known for its contribution to the civil rights movement, in regards to the Little Rock Nine Story. The School National Historic Site highlights this significant episode, presenting information on the 9 black students who took a stand against segregation, while attempting to enter an all-white school. The River Market District is home to some of the city's best restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
