Quapaw Quarter Association

The Quapaw Quarter Association is a non-profit historic preservation advocacy organization whose mission is to promote the preservation of the historic buildings and neighborhoods of Greater Little Rock. The Association grew out of an effort to identify and protect significant historic structures in Little Rock during the "urban renewal" days of the early 1960s, making it one of the oldest preservation organizations in the nation. Throughout its existence, the Association has been a driving force behind historic preservation in Greater Little Rock, which now boasts over 250 individually-listed National Register properties as well as 15 National Register Historic Districts. In addition to advocacy on local preservation issues, the Association's programs include its online newsletter, the Chronicle; an annual Spring Tour of Historic Homes; public workshops; and an historic house marker program. In 2007, the Association entered into a contract with the City of Little Rock to manage the city's Visitor Information Center at Historic Curran Hall. The ca. 1842-43 Greek Revival-style house also serves as the Mayor's Reception Hall and is available for rental for private receptions and events.

The Quapaw Quarter Association is the local partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Little Rock.
