    Our Visitor Center, "Miss Laura's Social Club," is located inside of Fort Smith's historic downtown area and sits alongside the Arkansas River. Out of seven "row houses" that lined Fort Smith's Old West red light district, Miss Laura's is the only house of ill-repute that stood the test of time. Now, it is the only former bordello on the National Register of Historic Places, and it has been fully restored to its original grandeur. Make Miss Laura's your first stop and we’ll give you a tour of this Victorian mansion that has become a prominent symbol of this once boisterous border town's very colorful past! See more..

  7. 4.5 Hope Visitor Center (36 reviews)
    - HISTORICAL DISPLAYS
    Spent < 1 hour Visitor Centers
    Hope Visitor Center image
    I stopped in because I couldn't figure out where to park for Clinton's Childhood Home (on West Division St opposite a brick home used as the entry point for guided tour). The sweetest lady greeted me and explained where to park. She invited me to look around the Visitor Center which I did. Many visitor centers are in a refurbished building as is this one, a converted train station, but this was not your typical Visitor Center with maps and pamphlets. This one had a lot of Clinton exhibits as well as a short film. I would recommend everyone to check out this place before touring his home. TIP: The restaurant across the street, Tailgaters Burger Company, is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC if you're looking for a place to eat. Try the Boom Sauce, if hesitant, get it on the side. See more..

    Historic Greyhound Bus Depot Visitor Center image
    while visiting the area we stopped to take a look, the young lady working for the downtown tourist association welcomed us in and gave us a private tour. They took an old run down building and are making it new again. Over $600,000 has been spent so far to renovate the 1920 bus station. They said they hosted an antique bus show last year and plan on doing another one in 2014 or 2015. This bus station has the setup like it was in the 20's before segregation to show how things were in the south before. the stop is still a work in process but very worth the stop, and also take a look at what they are doing down town. 9/23/13 See more..

    Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Cente image
    We wanted to see the largest tree in the State of Arkansas and we started our journey at the visitor's center - the fellow working that day was very helpful and if we hadn't have had his directions, we would have not found the big bald cypress. It's worth the hike of about a mile to see the tree and even though we walked in during mosquito season, we had no problems. See more..
