Fort Smith, as its name suggests, has military origins. It served as an outpost back in 1817, when it also doubled as a hub for fur trading. While it has since evolved into a city, it embraces its frontier past, and tourist attractions revolve around providing visitors the Old West experience. Fort Smith National Historic Site offers tourists a quick overview of the city and how famous characters from the past, including Wyatt Earp, are tied to it. Belle Grove Historic District, meanwhile, is a must-visit for architecture fans. Besides giving guests glimpses of the past, the city is also a good stop if you want to try the best of the Arkansas wine country. There are also plenty of places to stay at, from vacation rentals to cabins in the nearby Mountainberg. Visit the sights and try the different flavors for yourself by booking one of the best Airbnbs in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
