The pioneer spirit that transformed Fort Smith into the second largest city in Arkansas is still alive in our citizens today. We embrace our colorful heritage and showcase its influence in our architecture, our art, and our special brand of hospitality that we can't wait to share with you and your family. We feature historic attractions for all ages from antique downtown amusement park rides to our Belle Grove Historic District and the museums at the former Fort Chaffee army base including the renovated former barbershop, the site of Elvis Presley's famous first Army buzz cut, "the haircut heard 'round the world."
