The UAFS Drennen-Scott House in Van Buren, AR is a historic site that offers visitors a glimpse into 150 years of captivating history. Originally the residence of John Drennen and his family, this remarkable home now serves as a working laboratory for University of Arkansas Fort Smith students, who meticulously recreate its 19th-century ambiance. With ties to significant events such as the Trail of Tears, the Underground Railroad, and the Civil War, this sprawling single-story house and its contents, including beautifully restored antebellum furniture, have earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
Stepping inside the UAFS Drennen-Scott House, visitors are transported back in time, surrounded by fascinating artifacts such as a frieze exhibited at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, a 1740s grandfather clock, and a Steinway piano from 1860. This hidden gem is a must-visit for anyone exploring Van Buren, offering a truly enriching experience that showcases the rich heritage of the region.
