See history alive right here in the heart of Little Rock. The Old State House Museum is the original state capitol building of Arkansas and the oldest standing state capitol building west of the Mississippi River. Since 1833, when construction began, the building and its grounds have witnessed many of the most important events in Arkansas history. Today, the museum’s exhibits and events are open to the public.
Annual Supper 2024
We had an exquisite evening as Friends of the Old State House Museum presenting the Annual Supper on October 22, 2024.
“Filmmaking: A Calling and A Gift” was the program at Annual Supper by Friends of Old State House in support of the museum. The program wasan interview/conversation with Craig Renaud and Courtney Pledger.
Craig Renaud is a Peabody and DuPont Award winning filmmaker and has spent the past two decades producing films and television programs, many with his brother, Brent, now deceased (killed while filming in Ukraine). Renaud is best known for telling humanistic stories from the World’s hot spots and projects that have covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the earthquake in Haiti, and storytellers in Arkansas as well as the Central High story.
Courtney Pledger is Executive Director and Chief Executive Office of Arkansas PBS, and a co-collaborator with Renaud on Arkansas Storytellers.
