Public history tour. This federal courthouse and former post office was built in 1932 in the “starved Classical” style typical of federal buildings in the 1930s. During the Central High School integration crisis, then-lawyer Thurgood Marshall represented the Little Rock Nine in the landmark case Aaron v. Cooper in this courthouse. A 1957-era courtroom has been restored to tell this important story.
NOTE: Photo ID is required for entrance. Visitors must also pass through security screening and must check in cell phones and smartwatches before proceeding. Onsite public parking is not available, but there are paid parking lots nearby.
