THE
ARKANSAS COMMEMORATIVE COMMISSION
The Old State House is a history museum within a historic site.
Our first responsibility is to the building, its collections and programs.
Within certain limits the building is available for appropriate uses. Members
of the Old State House Museum Associates receive up to a 2 0% discount on
rentals.
1. The user agrees that the
Old State House facility and grounds will not be used to sell a product,
announce a fund raising activity or hold a fund-raising event unless the Old
State House is the direct benefactor of the sale or fund-raiser.
2. A fee will be charged to all who use the
facility and/or grounds.

event may exceed 4 hours. Set-up and clean-up are limited to an additional hour
each.
4. Alcoholic beverages may be
served for two hours only.
5. Food
and drink are to be catered by a professional firm approved by the Old State

Caterers are required to do their own set-up and clean-up. No beer kegs are
permitted inside the building. All trash must be removed from the building and
deposited in the dumpster.
6.
Should inclement weather occur during use of the grounds, the party is to cease

House for use of the facility due to inclement weather. Should inclement
weather not occur, the deposit for the facility will be returned.

security guards (if needed) and any other supplies necessary for the

notification of cancellation is required or the full rate will be
charged.
18. The user is
responsible for and will assume the cost for any damages to the building and
its contents or the grounds during his or her function.
19. Failure to return this form one (1) month
prior to the event abolishes the responsibility of the Old State House to hold
the date.

least one guard will be required for all rentals, even those having fewer than

result in an additional charge.
