Due to the postponement of the Fort Smith Christmas Parade, the Fort Smith Museum of History Annual Open House is rescheduled for Saturday, December 15, 2:00-5:00 pm.

Join us for cookies, hot chocolate, and free museum admission before or after the 3:00 pm parade. 

Shop the museum gift shop for unique locally produced candles, pottery and artwork. Choose from a selection of regional history books and books by local authors. The gift shop features an excellent selection of Fort Smith Bicentennial souvenir gifts including the book Bridging Borders and Time: A Bicentennial Portrait of Fort Smith.
