Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site Arkansas Travelers TOUR FOUR DAY 2 The Old Mill William J. Clinton Library and Museum Arrive in the state capital of Little Rock and walk in the steps of a president at the William J. Clinton Library and Museum. View an exact replica of Bill Clinton’s Oval Office and Cabinet Room as well as photographs, videos, documents and an interactive timeline highlighting domestic and foreign policies as well as the Clintons’ lives in the White House. View another important historic landmark at Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, listed on the official U.S. Civil Rights Trail as a significant site to see in the South. Today, it’s the only high school functioning within the boundaries of a national historic site. A museum on the site serves as a testament to the nine African American students who integrated the all-white school and tested the Civil Rights Act in 1957. Across the river in North Little Rock you, will find The Old Mill. This replica grist mill, set in a lushly gardened park, appeared in the opening credits of the 1939 film “Gone with the Wind” and remains one of the area’s most-visited attractions. Finish the day with an Arkansas Travelers baseball game at Dickey-Stephens Park or a dinner show at Murry’s Dinner Playhouse. TOUR FOUR DAY 3 The Lodge at Mount Magazine Arkansas is the oldest and largest grape juice and wine producing state in the southern United States. Drawn to the region by the Benedictines of nearby Subiaco Abbey, a colony of German-Swiss immigrants settled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and began growing grapes in the 1870s in the Altus area. Visit the wineries operating there today for a tour and tasting: Post Winery, Wiederkehr Wine Cellars, Mount Bethel Winery, Chateau Aux Arc and Dionysus Wine and Brew. After experiencing the vineyards of the Arkansas River Valley, stay overnight on the highest mountain in Arkansas at The Lodge at Mount Magazine. From its setting on the mountain’s south bluff, the lodge offers breathtaking views of the Petit Jean River Valley and Blue Mountain Lake in the distance. Enjoy Southern fare and a view at The Skycrest Restaurant, located within the lodge and named after the first hotel that graced the top of the 2,753-foot mountain.
