===Landmarks=== [[File:Spirit 0.jpg|thumb|upright|right|[[Spirit of the American Doughboy]]]] * [[Fort Smith National Historic Site]], the most prominent landmark, which includes the remains of the original 1817 fort on the Arkansas River. Inside is the restored courtroom of the famed "Hangin' Judge" Isaac C. Parker, and the dingy frontier jail aptly named "Hell on the Border." Eventually, this would become the unofficial nickname for all of Fort Smith.{{Citation needed|date=March 2016}} * [[Belle Grove Historic District]], a 22-block area in downtown Fort Smith comprises nearly 25 restored homes that span 130 years of varying architectural styles. * [[Clayton House Museum]], formerly the home of [[W. H. H. Clayton]], United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas and chief prosecutor in the court of "hanging judge" Isaac Parker, was built for Clayton in 1882 and owned by him until 1912. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/National-Register-Listings/PDF/SB0212.nr.pdf|title=NRHP nomination for W.H.H. Clayton House|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|access-date=March 26, 2015}}</ref> * [[Miss Laura's Social Club]], a former brothel and the only remaining building from the Row, is home to the city's Convention and Visitors Bureau and the only former house of prostitution on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. * [[Fort Chaffee]], primarily used as a training facility by regional National Guard and Reserve Corps units as well as active military units from other installations. In 1958, the entertainer [[Elvis Presley]] stopped off at Fort Chaffee en route to his basic training in Texas. It was here that the public information officer John J. Mawn told a news conference that Presley would receive the standard "G.I. haircut" and would resemble a "peeled onion".
