An ArcBest Truck in Fort Smith Museum of History

Yes, there's a real ABF truck in the Fort Smith Museum of History. The exhibit that goes with it opens Oct. 10.

It’s the best neighborhood in the Historic District, or in town – according its residents

This is the first in a series of stories about neighborhoods – beginning with “ours,” because Entertainment Fort Smith’s office is here. Readers are invited to nominate their own neighborhoods for a “We ♥️ (your street) feature.” – the Editors. In the past few years, there’s the most wonderful sound in the Belle Grove Historic District - hammers and electric saws. All along North 7th Street, renovation and restoration is ongoing or just receiving final touches.

Unexpected art will materialize in Fort Smith

The attention of the international visual art community will once again be focused on Fort Smith Oct. 7-12 as The Unexpected returns.
