The Central High School National Historic Site is a visitor center commemorating the civil rights struggle of the Little Rock Nine to integrate Little Rock's Central High School in 1957. The center opened on the fortieth anniversary of the Little Rock Crisis in September 1997, and was originally located in a renovated Mobil gas station. In 2007 a new visitor center was dedicated.

The center features a display entitled "All the World is Watching Us: Little Rock and the 1957 Crisis." The Central High School National Historic Site is located at 2120 Daisy L. Gatson Bates Drive.

The site superintendent is Michael Madell.
