  I happened to see this and remembered the Prince Hall Masons and this sounded similar. State run museum honoring the rich history of black Arkansans. Very worthwhile seeing.

  Learned some things I didn't know about Little Rock history in the African-American Community, museum is a bit small but very well kept and ballroom upstairs is really nice. Enjoyed visit of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame

  This museum is a hidden gem in Little Rock! It's clean, informative and well-designed! The staff was very friendly and helpful, adding to our experience by sharing more information about the history of the building itself. Check this place out...you won't be disappointed!

  This is a very interesting and well laid-out museum. The people staffing/operating it were very helpful when I visited, asking if I had any questions etc. I had visited Little Rock Central High School and was very excited when I went to the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center and ended up chatting with the sister of one of the Little Rock 9. The Center is free to visit (donations accepted) and they have a parking lot. Well worth a stop.

  Great place on the historic 9th St. Interesting to learn about the history of African Americans in Arkansas. Lots of pictures and video testimonials.

  I was relatively new to the Little Rock area and had grown up in Michigan knowing about 'The Little Rock Nine' and 'Central High School' place in the history of America, but I knew little else historically about this city. A friend invited me to attend the opening of the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center and I was awestruck by the impact blacks and black/native americans had on this city's culture in the 20's, 30's and 40's. The displays at this center are tasteful, reverent and extremely informative. They have a cultural reference library on the upper level that is extremely impressive.

  The museum focuses on the African American experience in Little Rock, specifcally during the Jim Crow era when the Mosaic Templars played a vitsl role in supporting the African American community and businesses that thrived in Little Rock. The museum features several displays depcting these businesses and the role they played. The center also houses the Arkansas African American Hall of Fame, various works by African American artists and other diplays of Mosaic Templar heritage and segregation era artifacts. The building was a little hard to locate, but that may say more about my GPS. There is a small parking lot next to the building.

  The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, a museum that is dedicated to African American history and culture in Arkansas, is exceptionally well done. This museum has exhibits that highlights the many challenges and the achievements of blacks in business, politics, and the arts. There was a special exhibit on black baseball that was fascinating. This is an exceptionally well laid out museum, and the people there were extremely friendly. I would certainly be inclined to return to this museum the next time I am in Little Rock. There is no fee for admission, but there is a place for contributions. Photography is permitted.

  The Mosaic Templars is a very special museum in Little Rock which celebrates the African-American story but is of immense interest to any of us. The first floor is a museum with changing and very professional exhibits (now a fascinating display on Blacks and the Civil War). The upper floor is a restored auditorium. This experience compliments the Central High Museum and should be visited ny all who go to that special place.

  Tour guide was excellent, we viewed a performance by a local artist, and learned of many famous Arkansas residents
