Curran Hall was home to many prominent Little Rock families, with stories of the home spreading as far as Oklahoma, as we see in this diary entry.

Visit Curran Hall for free! We are open as the Little Rock Visitor Center Monday-Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm and Sunday, 10:00am-3:00pm. (Closed Sundays November-March)

Managed by the Quapaw Quarter Association, Curran Hall welcomes weddings, bridal parties, photography sessions, meetings, intimate gatherings, receptions, sit-down dinners, and buffets, hosted both inside the lovely historic home and on beautifully landscaped grounds maintained by the Pulaski County Master Gardeners.

Emily Murrell Jarnigan, George Murrell's niece who visited Hunter's Home in 1850, wrote this in her diary on April 5th, 1850:

"Friday evening 5th. Got to Little Rock about one. As there was no boat going to Fort Gibson, we came up to the 'Anthony House'. I am now dressed to go take tea with Mrs. C."

Mrs. C. was Mrs. Curran and below is the Curran House in Little Rock, Arkansas today. The Curran House was built in 1842 and is Little Rock's only antebellum home open to the public. Today It is the Little Rock Information Center as well as the mayor's reception hall. The Curran House was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

🌿The QQA is partnering with Keep Little Rock Beautiful on two upcoming litter pick-ups.

Historic preservation is more than just saving old buildings; it is revitalizing neighborhoods and returning life to historic places. Historic preservation creates sustainable solutions to protect our neighborhoods and historic resources for the next generation. Part of that preservation means keeping our streets clean! Clean streets and parks encourage residents to take pride in their surroundings, leading to less littering overall, and encourages social interaction amongst neighbors and residents.
