Old State House Museum Collections Blog

   
As a sneak peak into our upcoming podcast on the Department of Correction Collection, here is a short clip from our interview with Dina Tyler, spokeswoman for the DOC.  The topic of the clip is the death penalty in Arkansas, specifically the state's electric chairs - Old Sparky I and II.  Just click the red play button below.



The chairs and many other objects in the Department of Correction Collection are currently on exhibit at the Old State House in an exhibit called "Badges, Bandits, and Bars: Arkansas Law and Justice."
