In this hands-on exhibit visitors of all ages are encouraged to interact with a variety of objects from the 1920s and 1930s. This space probably served as an office when the State House opened in 1836. When the building was expanded toward the river in 1885, the room was also enlarged northward to serve as a display room for Arkansas products, making it the first exhibit gallery at the Old State House. During the Medical School years it served as one of the Chemistry labs. The room was divided during the post-WWII restoration and the northern half turned into restrooms. From 1983 to 1996, the southern half served as home for the First Ladies' Gowns exhibit and now is Grandmother's Cottage.
