How to Schedule a Field Trip

• Please call the National Historic Site at [phone] to schedule a fieldtrip and reserve a date for your group.
• A reservation is required for all fieldtrip groups; the exhibits, the mulitipurpose room, and/or the ranger-led tour or guided program have limited capacity. Note: COVID-19 restrictions may limit group sizes; ask a ranger about this policy.
• Groups must have a prior reservation; your reservation will be confirmed by an email from staff at the National Historic Site, so watch for an email from an address ending in nps.gov
• Fieldtrips typically include time in the Visitor Center exhibits, a screening of the park's interpretive film, and a guided streetscape tour. Note: COVID-19 restrictions may limit these availabilities, so ask a ranger about this policy.
  • For more information about a guided tour as part of your fieldtrip, visit the Guided Tours page.
• If you don't have time for the guided tour, other alternatives include a ranger talk on the site's historic themes, orientations to exhibits/site features, and the park's interpretive film.
• Your fieldtrip will begin at the NHS Visitor Center (2120 W Daisy L Gatson Bates Dr., Little Rock, AR 72202) unless otherwise indicated.
• The Visitor Center parking lot can accommodate multiple buses/automobiles and has accessible parking available.
• You must schedule at least two hours for your fieldtrip if you have reserved a guided tour of Central High School and also would like to explore the exhibits or a film.
• Guided tours can typically be given on available weekdays/weekends (currently Tuesday - Saturday) at 1:00 p.m. CDT/CST, so a two-hour fieldtrip block that includes a guided tour would be require availability from a group from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m CDT/CST.
  • If your availability does not include the typical 1:00 - 3:00 p.m CDT/CST timeslot, we can discuss alternative times with you.
