FORT SMITH -- The Fort Smith National Historical Site is preparing for a few thousand people to attend the annual Fort Smith Fall Festival this Saturday.
Several fall festival events are planned across the River Valley on Saturday to enjoy the cooler weather and Halloween, as well as recognize area businesses and organizations.
The Fort Smith Trolley Museum, in cooperation with the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad, will host "Trains, Trains, and More Trains: Come and Have Dinner With Us" on Aug. 27. The fundraiser for the nonprofit museum will include a scenic 70-mile round trip through the Boston Mountains from Van Buren to Winslow and back, along with dinner.
