Old Mill has been called the most picturesque spot in North Little Rock. The actual mill, which operated in the 1800s, provided the background for the opening scenes of 'Gone With the Wind'. Today, visitors can explore the inside of the mill or sit on the surrounding mushroom-shaped benches and watch the waterwheel churn. In the spring and early summer, flowers decorate the banks of the pond. You can take in the scenery while enjoying lunch at one of the numerous picnic tables in the surrounding TR Pugh Memorial Park.
This tiny theater, located downtown next to Vino's Pizza Pub/Brewery, packs a load of talent. Fairly new to the Little Rock theater scene, the troupe has done a great job of keeping pace. You will laugh until your sides split; and cry until you realize it is only a play. Come see popular works such as "Jesus Christ Superstar" and more. Call for show times, and make sure you reserve a seat, as the shows are always packed. Tickets start at USD10.
The artwork in this gallery is breathtaking. You will find a wide range of sculptures, paintings and drawings by African-American artists.

A special note: the bookstore sells hard-to-find, out-of-print books by African-American authors, some of which are autographed. The gallery also regularly hosts events. Call or visit its web site for details.
