The MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History is a free-admission public museum showcasing weapons, uniforms, and other artifacts related to the military history of the state of Arkansas. The museum is housed within the Tower Building of the Little Rock Arsenal, which was constructed between 1840 and 1841 as part of the city's first United States military installation. The fortress, which was constructed to protect the frontier territory from indigenous group warfare, was the site of several pivotal battles between Federal and Confederate troops in the American Civil War. Today, it is preserved within the MacArthur Park Historic District, showcasing exhibits related to the state's military history at home and abroad, including a photo retrospective of the state's involvement in World War II.
