LITTLE ROCK – The City of Little Rock's MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History will host its 11th Annual Vintage Military Vehicle Show on Saturday at historic MacArthur Park in downtown Little Rock.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature military vehicles from the World War II through Desert Storm eras. Admission is free.

Visitors will see Jeeps and other vehicles from the Arkansas Military Vehicle Preservation Association. Any vehicle may be displayed, so long as it was used by the military in the past. Those wishing to include their vehicles may register on the museum’s website. The event also features living history exhibitors and will appeal to those who have an interest in military history, as well as in vintage cars and trucks.

Free ice cream and water will be provided courtesy of Blue Bell Creameries and Central Arkansas Water. Home Instead and Pinnacle Legacy Law will provide grilled hot dogs and chips.

Military vehicles will be showcased behind the museum on the historic parade grounds. Parking is available on the crescent drive in front of the museum as well as on McMath Avenue and Pulaski County Lane on the east and south sides of the park.

The MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History relates the military heritage of Arkansas and its residents to a diverse and widespread audience. Located in the Arsenal Building in MacArthur Park – one of central Arkansas's oldest surviving structures and the birthplace of one of this country's foremost military heroes, Gen. Douglas MacArthur – the museum collects, preserves, and interprets our state's rich military past from its territorial period to the present.
