    The Drennan house is an amazingly preserved piece of Arkansas history. The building, it's 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.

    Had no idea how much history the Drennen Scott house has on property. I work as a groundskeeper at University of Arkansas Fort Smith and UAFS has taken on the role to Grounds keep the Drennen Scott house. It has a beautiful view and lots of history just on the outside of the building alone. Haven't been in the house though

    Wanted to take my daughter here to teach her about our new homes history. But gates were closed. No one was there, even though their site said open. Disappointed 😔 but ended up going to another historical site.

    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.

    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.

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

    A lot of history for one little house. Glad to see the house restored and preserved for generations to come.
