The Fort Smith National Historic Site in downtown Fort Smith will reopen the doors Nov. 1 to the visitor center and museum after more than 19 months with reduced occupancy.
Initially closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the visitor center and museum suffered water damage due to a frozen sprinkler head caused by the extended extreme cold temperatures in February.
Hours of operation will be daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. The park grounds and trails will remain open from 30 minutes before sunrise to thirty minutes after sunset.
