VAN BUREN, ARKANSAS
Historic Van Buren, Arkansas, the gem of the Arkansas River Valley, offers visitors a wealth of attractions and unique shopping opportunities, a glimpse of history, and convenient dining and lodging options.
Baseball lovers will appreciate the $1.5 million “Field of Dreams” Sports Complex located on 68 acres and surrounded on three sides by water. Owned by the city of Van Buren, the Field of Dreams with its nine baseball fields and one football field was begun in 1993 and completed in 2002, thanks to dedicated community volunteers and civic leaders.
History buffs and bargain hunters can stroll back in time on beautifully restored Main Street lined with antique shops, restaurants, and unique arts and crafts and other boutique offerings. Victorian Main Street has become a shopping mecca for hard to find collectibles and exquisite furniture.
Sample the rich history of the River Valley with stops at the River Valley Museum of Van Buren, the Doll Museum, the King Opera House, and in Fort Smith at the National Historic Site, Belle Grove Historic District, The Trolley Museum and the Fort Smith Museum of History.
Love the outdoors? Van Buren is a charming hub from which to explore magnificent views of the Ozark Mountains, Lake Fort Smith and Lake Shepherd Springs. Take an excursion by train into the mountains or choose from many hiking and biking trails for a more personal outdoor experience. The River Walk, for instance, takes visitors to Phillips Landing where Civil War soldiers, steamboat crews and passengers, and travelers on the Trail of Tears left footprints in history.
Put yourself in our place – beautiful, historic and exciting Van Buren, Arkansas.
