We read the reviews and we're hoping for a little adventure... But got there and found out soda fountains not working, trains not currently running except on weekends, and were greeted by less than friendly employees. At that point, we decided to call it a day with this attraction.

Conveniently located. Interesting history of the "birth of Ft. Smith" and the changing of times. Allow a couple of hours to wonder through to see everything.

There is quite a bit of reading to do so make sure you have a few hours to spend at this museum. The museum has many exhibits. One of the exhibits on the second floor relates to the history of capital punishment in Ft. Smith and a warning is posted just off the elevator for those who may wish to skip the exhibit. All in all, worth the entry fee and time.

This building provides a indepth tour of this very historic city. It is a tad crowded, however, if you take the time, you will be able to see it at your leisure.The staff is friendly and very knowledge.

This musuem has a lot of great exhibits but it has so much that cannot be seen because there is not enough room. I hope one day they can build a bigger builder down town or buy a bigger building down town and repurpose it. Overall, great history to learn of Fort Smith and it is educational and fun for all ages, it was a favorite date place for my hubby and I as this was our first date place. It is a must for any histoiry buff or any lady who loves History!! :-)

I went to this museum a couple of months ago because it had been a LONG time (elementary school trip). It is really nice and has a lot of exhibits. I actually got to see a picture of what Garrison Avenue looked like whenever my great-grandmother came through Fort Smith around 1905. I met a nice family from Australia that were travelling across the United States with their children. The museum has grown quite a bit since I was last there! There were a lot of everyday items from different times. I would definitely recommend this!!!!

This was a great museum to take the family and talk about how things were done in the past. Great examples to show the younger generation items from the past. Would recommend this for all ages

The museum is laid out well and has interesting descriptions of old Fort Smith. I didn't have enough time,as I was with a group,to read all of the information, but I hope to return.
