Today, Fort Smith offers visitors a chance to learn about the famous figures during its fascinating past. The Fort Smith National Historic Site is where the original fort site can be seen as well as a replica gallows named after the Hanging Judge Issac Parker, a man who sentenced some 160 people to death during his time as a U.S. District Judge. The nearby Fort Smith Museum of History gives further insight into Judge Parker: here his courtroom has been reconstructed to show in detail what it would have been like to stand trial in that era.
