2. H.U. Lee International Gate & Garden

St., is a beautiful little oasis in the heart of Little Rock where visitors can
visit the colorful pavilion, walk through the gardens, and learn about Korean
culture. One of the top sights to see and photograph is the massive gate
entirely crafted out of Douglas fir. There are also plenty of statues, gorgeous
flowers, and places to sit and relax among the lovely flowers and foliage.
3. The Old Mill
Step back in time at the Old Mill, 3800 Lakeshore Dr, an
1880s water mill from the movie Gone With
the Wind. The Old Mill is a re-creation but completely mimics the original
mill and is an excellent place for hiking and photographing. You can wander the
mill yourself or take a guided tour.
There are trails and picnic tables around, so you can pack a small lunch and
make a day out of it. Whether you’re a movie lover, a history buff, or want to
see something totally unique and lovely in Little Rock, this site is for you.
4. Esse Purse Museum & Store
Visit the Esse Purse Museum & Store at 1510 Main St. for a crash course on women’s history and fashionable purses and handbags. You’ll see how purses evolved across the ages, and women’s rights along with them, through the types of bags they carried and the contents inside. It’s definitely not your usual museum, and the displays are both exciting and educational.
