Why the U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith Deserves a Spot on Your Travel List Our last morning in Arkansas started slow — coffee, a quick breakfast — and ended with an unforgettable trip through U.S. history at the United States Marshals Museum in Fort Smith, Arkansas . We decided to go to the U.S. Marshals Museum , sitting just a minute down the road from our RV Park — practically next door. We let the RV Park know we would be checking out late, and they were fine.

01 June 2025, R&R Winery, Greenwood Springs, Mississippi to KOA Journey North Little Rock, Arkansas Jeeps - 4 We said our goodbyes to Ruth, and we were on our way to North Little Rock, Arkansas. We had a four-hour drive ahead of us. Today’s drive is one of the longest drives on our way home. Most of the county roadways were OK. The highway was better. Everything is green and lush. The sky is blue and full of cotton balls.  We crossed into Tennessee at 1:20 PM. THE INTERSTATE IS HORRIBLE!!!! They win the prize right now for the worst roads. Then we crossed into Arkansas at 1:33 PM. The part of Arkansas we crossed into was a jog so it was quick from one state to another. It was still an hour to the KOA in North Little Rock. We made it about 3:40 PM. Thank goodness our coach’s insulation is sound because we are close to the highway. We are here for two nights.  In the evening, we walked in the park, and you could hear the traffic. Glad we are a little bit away from the road....
