large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness
facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the

All signs
point to Fort Smith (at least around here). It even has its own freeway,
I-540 (interchange at exit 7). At exit 12, near Alma, is another I-540
interchange – this one for the stretch connecting I-40 with Fayetteville
(home of the University of Arkansas), Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville
(home of Wal-Mart) and other northwestern Arkansas communities. Despite
all this, there are no hotels along I-40 with a Fort Smith address; the
few Discount Hotels near I-40 around here are actually in Van Buren, the eastern
gateway to Fort Smith. So if you are looking for a hotel near an I-40
exit, you will have to go to the
Van Buren page. Miss Laura's Visitor Center This is the official Fort Smith Visitors' Center. Located at the Arkansas River at the foot of 'B' Street, it was originally a hotel and brothel and the place has a lot of colorful history. It has been restored for the umpteenth time (last time because it was heavily damaged by the 1996 tornado) and is the only former 'house of prostitution' on the National Register of Historic Places. Stop by the visitors' center (you were going to do that anyway, right?) and take the tour. One of the attractions: emblazoned on the transoms of the doors are the names of the girls who 'worked' there in the brothel days. Fond recognitions? For more information contact the visitors' center. Fort Smith Trolley Museum From the 1920's through World War II, streetcars were popular in most cities. On display is an unusually complete collection of old railroad passenger cars and locomotives, busses and other transportation equipments used over the years in Fort Smith buses and many other transportation artifacts. The Fort Smith Trolley Museum also operates a fully-restored ca. 1926 electric streetcar. Regular half-mile runs between the Fort Smith National Cemetery and the Varsity Sports Grill or Garrison Avenue (Main Street) give you a good tour of the older part of Fort Smith as well as a fun ride in one of these romantic, old trolleys. |
