Housed in the historic 1907 Atkinson-Williams Warehouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Fort Smith Museum of History is devoted to presenting the history of Fort Smith and the surrounding region. Located on Rogers Avenue in Fort Smith, the museum preserves over 40,000 artifacts and objects that document the city’s history in a variety of permanent exhibits, including a timeline that takes visitors on a journey through growth and development of the town that grew around the 1817 military fort. Other exhibitions include the William O. Darby Memorial Room in which the story of the founder of Darby’s Rangers in World War II (today’s Army Rangers) is told and the Boyd Gallery which houses temporary and traveling exhibitions.
