A Century of Service at the Arkansas State Capitol

Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin invites you to help celebrate "A Century of Service at the Arkansas State Capitol," April 26-27, 2011. The event is being held in recognition of the first legislators who assembled at the Capitol 100 years ago to serve Arkansans.

Events honoring members of the 88th General Assembly and legislators from the past will include music, vintage cars, a look-back-in-time silent film, and a time capsule for the future. The public will also enjoy a rare opportunity to use the Capitol's prized Tiffany bronze doors that will be opened during the ceremonies. The Department of Arkansas Heritage and the History Commission have provided items which will help capture the 1911 spirit.
