Preservation Conversations
These events focus on technical preservation and central Arkansas History. All Preservation Conversations are open to the public and free of charge, but RSVPs are highly suggested-some of our events have limited space. These events will start at 5:30 p.m. with refreshements, before moving into an hour program with the guest speaker of the night.
Feild Notes on Little Rock, a family history memoire by Charles R. Feild
Join the Quapaw Quarter Association for our 2nd Preservation Conversation for the year. We will be diving into Little Rock history from 1624-2024, but all through the lense of a family who has been here to see it all.
Charles Feild shares gripping first-person accounts of the skee-daddle, otherwise known as the "Battle" of Little Rock, as well as the Occupation/Liberation from the viewpoints of both Confederate and Union soldiers and of locals-white, enslaved, and emancipated. The book also contains previously unpublished accounts by Freedmen that belie Lost Cause myths.
Date: Tuesday, April 28th
Time: 5:30-7:00 pm
Address: The Mixing Room at the Old Paint Factory, 1306 East 6th St, Little Rock, AR 72202
