What used to be an old railroad bridge has been given a second life, now standing proudly as a pedestrian walkway stretching over the Arkansas River. As we walked across, the breeze picked up just enough to keep the July heat from being unbearable. The view of the Little Rock skyline on one side and the riverbanks stretching out on the other made it worth the steps. It was calm, wide open, and gave us time to slow down and just enjoy where we were. The kids ran ahead, pretending they were on some kind of adventure, and we just soaked in the peace. It's not flashy or loud, but it has that thoughtful kind of presence--like it knows it's not the main event, but it still wants to make the moment better. If you're visiting the library, make the time to walk it. Bridges don't usually make memories--but this one just might.

Also the Heritage website is confusing so we went to the wrong place first. But the artwork was pretty and it is free to go through the museum so it wasn't a total loss.

To be fair, they did appear to have a section blocked off so I wonder if they were changing out the displays.

There is also a private parking lot for the museum on that side of the street and you will find metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance. You can enter the museum from two opposing sides. The main entrance has some enticing sculptures out front and are popular with people taking pictures on. I will admit that their is not much to this museum. It is two levels of exhibits that are available to view. The first is where you will find an information booth, gift shop, meeting room and open space vacant exhibit area. The only actual exhibit on the first floor is Conspicuous Consumption: If you've got it, flaunt it! That displays antique furniture and artifacts. The second floor has the majority of the exhibits including Arkansas art, some of which you can purchase, a large native American exhibit, and the Sturgis Children's Gallery, which is pretty much a kids play area. The native American exhibit is the most detailed and where I spent the majority of my time. The knife exhibit was closed while I was there. I really wanted to see it, but oh well. Visiting the museum is 100% free, but they do offer paid tours. In addition to the inside exhibits, the tour includes a mock historic town located outdoors that has brick/wood made buildings and structures. This is a nice museum. It is pretty clean and well organized. I spent about an hour checking out the museum and walking the grounds. It is definitely a must see while in Little Rock.

I listen to a lot of country, a lot of rap, and a Little Rock. So I fit right in here. (Jk, I'm not…read morebig into country or rap but it worked for the intro, did it not). Little Rock in brief summary, is an absolutely gorgeous City which will live forever in my heart, both because of the bittersweet distant memories, and some more recent ones with Starlight, and even moreso - the amazing concerts I've had here. My first memories of Little Rock were with the love of my life when we were traveling all over the country, driving through here on a sticky summers' day. The first thing we discovered here was the River Market. We've traversed Arkansas on a number of fateful occasions over the years and each one has left a real impression on me. Almost always in the heat of the summer, except when I did my tour here, in late Autumn. When it is at its most comfortable, really. My most recent experience was bringing Starlight through here in the heat of the summer - and she and son and mochi all enjoyed the Frozen Custard from Shake's, and we had a little look around the downtown. You can see her eating it in the attached pic. My best experience here was for a concert. We absolutely packed the River City Coffee Cafe with over 100 people and it was one of the most memorable concerts I ever had. So LR will always be special to me and it's a truly beautiful place. And no, while I may have Little Rock in my heart, I do not have Little Rocks anywhere on my body, despite what you may have heard from multiple sources.

The memorial features a Mark 14 torpedo surrounded by granite tablets. One marker gives a brief summary of the submarines career. Another provides information on the submarines lost and presumed final area. A third panel list the crew members names that lost their lives. The other markers are more generic to the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II and not specific to the Snook and include a panel that lists all the submarines lost during WWII, including the Snook, A summary of the accomplishments of American submarines during World War II. and a brief summary of total crewman aboard American submarines that died during World War II. The memorial is dedicated to one of the 52 US submarines that were lost during the World War II, the USS Snook (SS-279). Each state has at least one memorial for a specific submarine that was lost. The memorial was commissioned by the Arkansas Diamond Chapter of the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II. The Snook was last heard from on April 8, 1945, in the South China Sea. After over a month of no communication, the sub was declared overdue and presumed lost with all hands-on May 16, 1945. This is a nice memorial that is fittingly located across from the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum which features the submarine USS Razorback (SS-394). I like the ambitious project that this memorial is a part of and anyone that follows me know I am partial to paying respect to those heroes that served. Anyway, as with most memorials that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. The nearby Riverwalk Park and the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum would be a great start.

I'm a down and dirty girl! Oh, not in the way you think!…read more I like to get my hands and nails dirty. I like to dig. I like to discover and see what is beneath the surface. Way down! Just as far as anyone has ever gone. Let's look at the midden. The *WHAT* you ask? The midden. The dirt with *leftovers* in it. Leftovers? Like meatloaf & spinach & biscuits? Well, yeah . . . . kind of . . . leftovers like from folks who went before us. Leftovers like flint chips and sherds and anything that didn't decay that someone threw out their back door! And let's look at the rich black dirt (midden) that has all sorts of decayed matter in it . . . . like meatloaf & spinach & biscuits! You did know that you can tell when someone has lived on land by the richness and change in color of the soil, right? On my first visit to Toltec Mounds (a misnomer - this site really had nothing to do with the ancient Toltec culture) I knew that we were going to find rich midden. Its flat country. Very flat. Then out of nowhere rise these beautiful mounds. All built one basket-load of dirt at a time. Several of the mounds remain. Today it is just a few miles southeast of Little Rock. Archeologists believe this was a large ceremonial & governmental site. Who really knows for sure? Those who do are long gone. It was occupied between AD 600 to 1050. That they do know for sure. All sorts of ways of dating the site. Tree rings, carbon dating, etc. This was a large village with an earthern embankment surrounding it. Yes, I spent a lot of time here getting my nails & hands dirty. This wasn't my first love, er site, but it was one of the best. I helped excavate several pits on Mound A, I used my cartography skills extensively mapping each pit, I screened for minute artifacts, I surveyed, I washed and catalogued artifacts, I killed a thousand mosquitos and I made lifetime friends . . . all at Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park in Scott, Arkansas. When I was there it was still farm land. That was before it became a State Park. Before many folks knew its true value. Before we put test pits in. Before there was a road. Before there was a museum and a visitors center. Before anyone really knew there had been a thriving Plum Bayou Culture there. Yes, I got my nails dirty here. Real dirty. I used my trowel and line level. I learned what a cottonmouth was here. (Not the way your mouth feels the next morning!) I learned what humidity is like when it is just so thick & heavy in the air that sweat doesn't dry off your skin and you never can get cool. I learned what mosquito repellent is really for. I learned to work in tandem with a teammate in sifting a large screen. I learned it is only marginally cooler in the shade than the sun when it is this hot. I learned how good a cold beer tastes in the evening just before bed. I learned to take salt tablets. I learned that it is far more fun to dig in the dirt than to sit around talking about how boring life is with manicured hands. Make memories now. Who knows, you may meet the love of your life in the next test pit or at the evening bonfire or out surveying. I did. And he/she will have dirty fingernails too. And you'll both know more about prehistory.

It is important to note that Little Rock is the home of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA), the largest taekwondo organization and the nation and was founded by Lee in 1969. Parking here is pretty simple. There is metered parking out front and within a reasonable walking distance. The metered parking runs from about 8AM to 6PM on weekdays and is free all other times. The garden consists of a large gate, a nine-foot tall fountain, benches, statues, and brick pavers. some of it notable statues include: Harubang Statues, turtles statue, Bee Ryong Bong, two Korean foo dog statues, and a bust of Eternal Grand Master Lee with a nine-foot wall of vision behind it. The fountain feeds into a star happed reflective pool. The gate is made from Douglas fir, weighs about 80 tons and is a common gate that you would find throughout Asia and serves as a welcome sign. All in all, this project costed $1.4 million dollars and was a gift to Little Rock from the Lee family. You can see that people have left shoes and other items at the gate as an offering. Even though the garden has the gate in front of it, you can still access the area by walking around the gate or from the backside of the garden. The garden is nice and somewhat soothing . There are a few places to sit here including a plaza area on the second level. I would caution you about sitting on the benches around the fountain though. The tops of the benches are not attached and will slide off if you are not careful. Do not ask me how I know. The garden and plaza could be a bit better maintained. Some of the statues, and the fountain could use a little TLC. The area itself could use some leaf blowing and a quick pressure wash. Do not get me wrong. It is not bad, but you can see it trending that way very fast. All-in-all, this is a nice spot to visit while in Little Rock. I will admit that it is not a long stop or destination attraction, but still worth seeing. I would probably couple it with a visit to the River Front and sculpture garden to make the trip more worth while.
