Living history performances bring Arkansas history to life for all museum visitors. These characters are worked into different segments of scheduled tours. Please notify the tour coordinator if you would like to encounter a living history character during your tour.
During your tour, you may meet Col. Pete Whetstone, a lively frontiersman who tells stories about the early days of Arkansas's statehood. Perhaps you will meet a former governor of Arkansas, or maybe even one of the former First Ladies.
