The Arkansas State Capitol, also known as the Capitol Building, is the home of the Arkansas General Assembly and the seat of Arkansas state government in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is located atop Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the Capitol Mall.

Numerous monuments and memorials on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol depict various aspects of the state's past and present. They include the Arkansas Fallen Firefighters Memorial, the Arkansas Medal of Honor Memorial, Bauxite and Granite Boulders, the Confederate Soldiers Monument, the Confederate War Prisoners Memorial, the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, a replica of the Liberty Bell, the "Little Rock Nine" Civil Rights Memorial, the Memorial Fountain, the Monument to Confederate Women, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the contentious Ten Commandments Monument.

History of Arkansas State Capitol

The Arkansas State Capitol was built between 1899 and 1915. Architect George R. Mann presented his winning design from a competition in Montana to generate interest in building a new capitol. Despite opposition from future governor George W. Donaghey, Mann was selected as the architect. Construction was completed by prisoners who lived on-site, and the building was mistakenly aligned north-south instead of east-west, causing a slight S-curve in the entrance walkway. Governor Donaghey later removed Mann from the project and hired Cass Gilbert to finish the Capitol.
