No entrance pass required

Pass Upgrades & Exchanges

Federal policy requires Interagency Passes (including Senior Passes) to be sold and upgraded only at staffed locations that collect entrance or standard amenity fees.


Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site does not charge an entrance or standard amenity fee, so this site is not authorized to process upgrades from a Senior Annual Pass to a Senior Lifetime Pass or an exchange from a Golden Age Passport to a Senior Lifetime Pass.

Visitors who wish to upgrade their Senior Annual Pass or exchange a Golden Age Passport must visit a staffed National Park Service fee-collecting site or another authorized sales outlet to complete the transaction.

Golden Access Passport exchange to Access Pass

Golden Access Passports are no longer sold. However, these passes are still honored according to the provisions of the pass.

While Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site is not an entrance fee or standard amenity fee collection site, we can provide an in-person exchange from a Golden Access Passport to the current Access Pass as this pass is free for those who qualify.

If you would like to exchange your Golden Access Passport to an Access Pass, please bring your Golden Access Passport, a valid photo ID, and documentation confirming eligibility:
