Little Rock Central High Museum

The Magnolia service station on the corner across from Little Rock Central High School served as a gathering place during the desegregation crisis in 1957. In 1997, it was restored by the National Park Service and served as a visitor center and museum until the opening of the new Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site Visitor Center in 2007.
