It is thought this room served as the Land Office when the State House first opened in 1836. After 1885, it and its mirror image across the hall were occupied by the Auditor's Office. During the Medical School's tenure, both rooms were sub-divided to provide office space. Since at least 1980, the room has housed the Old State House Museum Store. Be sure to plan a stop during your visit to the museum. The Store has a wide selection of books on Arkansas history, souvenirs related to the building and its exhibits, antebellum and Victorian-stle gift ideas, as well as numerous items of interest to children. The Store is open when the museum is open: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday-Saturday, and 1:00-5:00 pm on Sunday. If you have questions you can reach the store at 501-324-8653.
