The geographical, political and financial center of Arkansas, Little Rock is at the meeting point of its two major regions, the northwestern hills and the eastern Delta. The town today has a relaxed, open feel, a far cry from the dramatic events of 1957. In the rapidly expanding River Market District , 500 E Markham St, the Museum of Discovery , geared largely toward kids (Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 1-4.30pm, free first Fri each month 5pm-9pm; tel 501/396-7050), is a welcome and fun addition. This area contains the majority of Little Rock's activity, with a series of restaurants, bars and the actual farmers' market on the river. Behind the museum is Riverfront Park , a thin strip of greenery and fountains that runs for several blocks - here, a commemorative sign marks the "little rock" for which the city is named, which is not particularly striking.
