Historic Van Buren Home Opens to Public

One of Arkansas' oldest buildings is newly restored and will soon open to the public. The Wilhauf House, built in 1836 by Leonard Wilhauf, preserves a unique look at working-class life in 19th-century Arkansas. The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, which now operates the site as a training laboratory and museum, hosted a ribbon cutting event earlier this month.
