2 Best Sights in Little Rock, Arkansas

Heifer Village is a $7.5 million educational facility built on the site of the world headquarters for Heifer International, a global nonprofit organization whose goal is to relieve world hunger and poverty. The environmental footprint for the ecologically friendly headquarters building comprises a former industrial wasteland that has been converted to thriving wetlands. Throughout the Village, you'll learn about world hunger and other global issues through hands-on exhibits, videos, and activities in either self-guided or structured visits, ranging from one to three hours. A light lunch is available on-site at the Heifer Cafe. Overnight and multiday activity options are available at Heifer Ranch, about an hour west in Perryville.

In the eyes of the world, Little Rock became a global destination in 2004 when the William Clinton Presidential Center and Park opened on 29 riverfront acres adjacent to the city's central business district. The Clinton School of Public Service is housed on-site in a renovated historic train station; the offices for the Clinton Foundation are also here. This energy-efficient, environmentally conscious complex is an architectural icon visualizing a "bridge to the future," mirroring Little Rock's six other bridges across the Arkansas River.
