What's in Fort Smith?

#travel #roadtrip #arkansas

Welcome back to the road! Today we are making a stop to see what's in Fort Smith, Arkansas. This small city has seen better times, but has a surprising amount to offer. On this stop we will be visiting downtown, Ross Pendergraft Park, Fort Smith, the William Clayton Home, Fort Smith National Cemetery, Fort Smith Regional Art Museum, Fort Chaffee, and the Riverfront Park. Come join us on the road.

As a lifelong resident of Fort Smith, I enjoyed this video. Our National Cemetery has many interesting people buried there. William O’Darby of Darby’s Rangers is buried here, there is a good movie about his story. Yes, we do have many homeless, but we also have a wonderful homeless shelter(Hope Campus). The homeless that you see on the streets or the park choose to not live there. I’m proud of our city and appreciate you sharing its history. Thank you.

Thanks for your work in putting this video together. Very well done! We don't have a lot of the amenities of larger cities, but we also do not have a lot of the problems either, or at dramatically reduced levels. For people like me, it is just the right size.

I visited downtown while in the area for business. The downtown is pretty nice and you can see the city has put a lot of effort into rehabbing it. The trolley museum is nice. So are the fort and the national cemetery.

Born and raised in Fort Smith my whole life. Growing up, I've always heard the city been referred to as The City That Wants To Be A Town

The movie Biloxi Blues, starring Matthew Broderick was filmed at Fort Chaffee.

I thought you did a great job on this video. Thank you!
(I did wonder why there was nobody downtown? Did you visit in a Sunday morning?)

Fort Smith is a city that wants to be a town.

Nice, so what’s your favourite type of art? Wife got me into Impressionism like Monet or Chagall’s works in Chicago. We’d both like to see his works in France one day.

Shes probably right.

If not the highest sales tax in America then it is darn near close to the highest.

I believe the quote at the beginning was not properly understood by the content creator. I found the article it came from and it doesn't apply in this context. I'm from Arkansas and am in Fort Smith as I type this.

To the content creator you did an awesome job sister! Thank you for showing the history of the great town! Don't mind the haters that are commenting because they have nothing better to do then 🧌 troll.
