2nd Annual Vintage Military Vehicle Show
The MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History will host its second annual vintage military vehicle show on Saturday, July 26, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Military vehicles from circa World War I through Desert Storm will be on display in front of the museum, located at 503 E. 9th St. in downtown Little Rock’s MacArthur Park. A highlight of this event will be the 1915 Dodge Brothers touring car used by General John Pershing in 1916 as he tried to capture Pancho Villa in Mexico. To commemorate the centennial of the start of World War I, this year’s show will feature a program on Camp Pike by Brian Irby, Archival Assistant at the Arkansas History Commission. Camp Pike was constructed in 1917 and served as a training facility during World War I, as well as the headquarters of the Arkansas National Guard. The program will begin at 1:00 p.m. inside the museum. All events are free to the public. Food trucks will be present to sell refreshments.
