Fred Williams, Professor of History at the University of Arkansas Little Rock.  This 188-page coffee-table sized book chronicles the story of Little Rock from its early exploration and founding to its celebration of a native son headed to the White House.

About the QQA

The Quapaw Quarter Association is a non-profit historic preservation advocacy organization whose mission is to promote the preservation of the historic buildings and neighborhoods of Greater Little Rock.

The QQA grew out of an effort to identify and protect significant historic structures in Little Rock during the "urban renewal" days of the early 1960s, making it one of the older preservation organizations in the nation.

Throughout its existence, the QQA has been a driving force behind historic preservation in Greater Little Rock, which now boasts over 250 individually-listed National Register properties as well as 15 National Register Historic Districts.

In addition to advocacy on local preservation issues, the QQA's programs include its bi-monthly newspaper, the Chronicle; a bi-annual Spring Tour of Historic Homes; public workshops; the Preservation Resource Center; and an historic house marker program. 

In 2007, the QQA entered into a contract with the City of Little Rock to manage the city's Visitor Information Center at Historic Curran Hall.  The ca. 1842-43 Greek Revival-style house also serves as the Mayor's Reception Hall and is available for rental for private receptions and events.
