The Arkansas State Capitol building features Arkansas granite and six bronze doors and three chandeliers crafted by Tiffany's of New York. The dome has a 24-karat gold plated cupola.
"Testaments", the Civil Rights Memorial sculpture of the Little Rock Nine, African American students that courageously integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Situated on the north side of the Arkansas State Capitol building, it faces the Governor's office window. It was the first Civil Rights Memorial located on any State Capitol grounds in the south.
The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial is also located on the Capitol grounds.
Located on the southeast corner of the capitol grounds, a lasting tribute to the over 60,000 Arkansans who served; and over 600 sons of this state who lost their lives; and the 22 men still listed as missing in action as a result of the war.
