Little Rock Arsenal
One attraction in Little Rock, the City Park, traces back to early
time. The park was originally a portion of a government grant of
1,000 acres of land to Arkansas, to be sold and the money used for a
territorial courthouse and jail.
In 1836, the government acquired the park site for an arsenal. It
was then owned by Richard C. Hawkins, who had fitted it up as a
racetrack. Though the government erected a number of military
buildings on the area, it never kept many soldiers there until the
War between the States.
