Members Tour Historic Drennen-Scott Property





Forty members of the South Sebastian County Historical Society toured Van Buren's historic 1836 Drennen-Scott house last evening. Tom Wing, director and assistant professor at U of A Fort Smith, guided members through the site and detailed the history of John Drennen, the home's original owner, and the structure. Members learned that Drennen was instrumental in the nation's western expansion and entertained friends such as Sam Houston and Albert Pike in the home. The home has been occupied solely by Drennen-Scott family members since its construction. Click here to learn more.
