Plan Your Visit

 

A visit to Fort Smith National Historic Site begins at the Visitor Center, located in the former barracks/courthouse/jail building. Most visitors spend at least 45 minutes touring the exhibits.

On the grounds you can see the site of the first fort, walk the trail along the Arkansas River, and explore the historic Commissary building and reconstructed gallows. Paved paths along the grounds makes exploring the sites easy and accessible.
