This is where Elvis went for his first Army haircut. He stayed 3 days. This is not only a fun place to stop to see where the 1st famous haircut took place, but also see some amazing historical pieces and get info.They are trying to do some remodeling of the building where Elvis stayed.Friendly and very informative people.I highly recommend this stop. Easy to find.

I also visited this museum and was totally surprised with all the information on Ft Chaffee. My tour guide was Rod Williamson through the Barber Museum and this one. He was so informed and I was in awe with his knowledge of the history of the area. I was born near Ft. Chaffee and my dad barbered there in the 50s. When I returned to Ft. Smith in the 70s my friends and I got to know many of the Weekend Warriors. However, the history of German POWs there in the 40s was shocking! There is so much history I didnt know. Some of the Vietnamese refugees were housed there in the 70s, which I knew about. I worked for Donrey Media Group at that time.Anyone that was military and stationed there would be surprised with the items and information that is stored in the museum. I recommend anyone that has passed through the gates of Ft. Chaffee visit! I was headed back to Memphis and look forward to returning to spend more time scouring the area.

Trudy Mitchell is very mean! She is very snobby and unprofessional! As soon as I can I will be leaving the reserve! Trudy Mitchell is the manager there! I have been a very loyal resident there for a year and a half and I have been treated with so much disrespect! Do not rent from this place.

The Chaffee Crossing Historic District includes the Barbershop Museum (where Elvis got his famous hair cut when he joined the army) and Chaffee Museum. Camp Chaffee was built in the early 1940s to train World War II soldiers and it is an inspirational place. Dont miss the Veterans Day Parade in November. Last year more than 700 floats participated in honoring our Veterans.

It was OK. Im not sure Fort Smith knows what to do with the place. Urban development isnt necessarily a good thing.

Nice museum which covers lots of interesting history of the barracks. The very friendly docent gave me a full tour even though I got there near closing time. And he took my picture with Elvis!

Nice place to visit With family

Nice place to visit a lot of history. Its one thing to do on a Saturday.

Love the history
