The Visitors' Center is open daily, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is scheduled to be closed only on December 25 and January 1. The Park's Grounds are open 24/7/365 and include the paved Rivertrail, parking lots, picnic tables, and several excellent outdoor exhibits.
There are rare occasions when snowy or icy weather will prevent employees and/or visitors from traveling to the Fort Smith National Historic Site. These closings will be posted on our index page as soon as we are made aware. Generally, Park closings reflect Fort Smith Public School closings as related to inclement weather.
