The historical preservation of this wonderful old plantation house is worthy of loading up the family and visiting. Understand history by revisiting history.

As always I am appreciative and thankful for the fine work that goes into the historical sites located in Crawford and Sebastian counties. Without the work and effort that goes into maintaining these sites, much would be lost.

Cool place to learn some local history. The garden looks like it would be beautiful in the spring. Grounds are well kept and the house is in great shape. Tour guide is knowledgeable.

The Drennan house is an amazingly preserved piece of Arkansas history. The building, its contents, and the grounds are are like walking back in time. The Director Tom Wing is a history professor with the University of Arkansas Fort Smith. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer many questions I had about the home, and even answered questions I asked in regards to the histories of Van Buren, Fort Smith, Little Rock, and the impact of the Civil War in Arkansas. Highly recommend the Drennan house as a must see if in the Van Buren area if nothing else then to pick from Mr. Wings wealth of information on the area.

Something like 80% of the furnishings are original to the house. Pretty neat piece of history in Van Buren.

A very neat place to visit in Van Buren. The house and grounds are well kept. Getting to see all the historical pieces inside the house was a real treat. The tour guide was nice, informative, and knowledgeable about the house, van buren, and the historic river valley area.

The Drennen-Scott House, now the University of Arkansas at Fort Smiths Drennen-Scott Historic Site, is the 1836 home of a co-founder of Van Buren who served as the Indian agent responsible for settlement payments to relocated Cherokees in Indian Territory and was a delegate from Crawford County during development of the 1836 constitution for Arkansas. The Drennen-Scott House was listed on the National Register on September 10, 1971.
