During the 1957 desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock (Pulaski County), this Magnolia gas station, located across the street from the school, was a central gathering place for many segregationist demonstrators. The National Park Service restored the building in 1997 and used it as a visitor center and museum until the 2007 opening of the Little Rock High School National Historic Site Visitor Center.
