Mission Statement: The Fort Smith Streetcar Restoration Association is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of electric powered streetcars, railroad equipment, transportation and other technology that existed during this period in history, and to providing a unique educational experience to the visiting public.Big waves to all my blogging friends. My husband was off most of last week and we spent a few days having fun with our daughters.
Tuesday, we were off to Fort Smith, Ar--a short, almost two hour drive:). Fort Smith is working hard to restore much of their old downtown area so that tourists can get the true feel of this once 'wild west' town. In another year and a half, Fort Smith will be the proud home to the U. S. Marshall's Museum, an attratction that will add much to the already wonderful history of the town.
As you can see in the picture above, (sorry I couldn't post it by my paragraph, but Blogger won't let me this morning) we had a good time riding the trolley. Right now, it is just a short ride from one end of the track to another, but a 'loop' is in the works that will add quite a bit to the ride.
Our youngest will go back to college tomorrow. It seems like her time at home has really sped by. I hope all of you had a great week. As soon as things slow down, I'll try to start posting more and get around to 'see' all of you more, as well.

Oh the emotions of sending a child back to college~ like a roller coaster. Best of luck~ sounds like time at home was cherished.
ReplyDeleteI think I've been to Fort Smith-but I was only a kid and I don't remember much except it was hot and I liked it! Looks like a fun place to visit-I love restored old towns! Glad to hear they're taking steps to do that!
