LITTLE ROCK, AR (KTHV) Saturday marks Arkansas' 176th birthday. The Old State House Museum will provide visitors with a glimpse of what life was like surrounding the 1836 Presidential Campaign.

Visitors to the Old State House Museum's statehood commemoration will have a chance to experience the politics, entertainment and commerce of the period through hands-on programs given by costumed historians. At noon, participants will parade from the Historic Arkansas Museum to the Old State House Museum, waving flags and banners for their candidates of choice. Visitors will get to cast their votes in mock elections.
