Arkansas

Nicknamed "The Natural State," Arkansas is home to beautiful state parks, relaxing hot springs, and the thick forests of the Ozark Mountains. Arkansas has made significant contributions to American history. The capital city of Little Rock played a historic role in the Civil Rights movement when nine African American students courageously entered Little Rock Central, a previously all-white high school. In more recent years, Arkansans from all backgrounds helped elect William Jefferson Clinton, a native of the town of Hope, to five terms as governor of the state, and two terms as president of the United States.
