Welcome

For 100 years, we have been the "keeper and teller" of Fort Smith's rich and colorful history. We are located in the former Atkinson-Williams Building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Fort Smith Museum of History acquires, preserves, exhibits and interprets objects of historical significance relevant to the founding and growth of Fort Smith and the region.

Visit the museum gift shop for unique, locally produced pottery and crafts.  Prints of historic Fort Smith are now available.
