It's a fascinating history And one that you have to spend a little bit of time going to the museum and understanding the different angles. I guess that's a purpose of a museum, right? We learned a little bit about Judge Isaac, Parker, as one of the first influences that had to deal with the wild West murderers and people committing heinous crimes that until he arrived, didn't face many consequences as there was no federal government system that was in control of the area and the tribunal process did not cover non-native Americans. Fascinating history. You can even see a replica of the courthouse as well as the gallows as they were over 160 people hang here. Take a rock across the railroad tracks and read a bit about the trail of tears. There are plenty of areas to contemplate the history. Bring a picnic, there are many places to relax and spread out. The museum is actually free, is air-conditioned and had clean restrooms

I've seen a lot of historical markers in my travels and I think it's only Oklahoma that does them…read morelike this. Other states have signs on posts. Oklahoma has a carved stone, almost like a gravestone. There is a sign ahead that lets you know it's coming so that you can look out for it and be ready to pull over. This marker does not have much of a widening in the road, so watch for traffic when you stop. It reads, "On the hill to the east was home of Capt. J.E. Reynolds a Confederate veteran, a pioneer rancher and merchant. Built of native stone, like a castle, complete with turrets and walls two feet thick. Reynolds was a delegate to the Sequoyah Convention which attempted to bring it into the Union as a separate state." I looked to the east. I didn't see it.

This was a nice little area off the main road thru Sallisaw. I grabbed the following info from Grok…read moreso I made sure I didn't miss anything. Lattimore Cabin: Built in 1835 by Samuel Lattimore, an early Cherokee settler, this hand-hewn log cabin is one of Oklahoma's oldest surviving structures. Originally two stories, it's now a single-story cabin with a defensive loophole window, reflecting its historical significance during the pre-Civil War era. * Faulkner Cabin: A mid-19th-century log cabin (circa 1840s), showcasing early settler life. * Old Sallisaw Train Depot: A restored depot highlighting Sallisaw's railroad history, a key factor in the town's development. * Trail of Tears Exhibit: A display dedicated to the forced removal of the Cherokee and other Native American tribes, providing historical context for the region. Give yourself 30-60 minutes to enjoy everything. It is really hot this time of year so take water and stay hydrated.

Mister Peanut is both the advertising logo of the company and the mascot of the Planters…read moreCorporation. He looks like a proper distinguished gentleman, complete with top hat, monacle, white gloves and spats carrying a cane. Mister Peanut appears on every can and jar of Planters peanuts and has even appeared on TV as an animated character. This statue is in front of the Planters facility (canning? packaging?) in Fort Smith. It is accessible from the employee parking lot. He is 30 feet tall and looks exactly the same as the ones on my can of nuts. My visit was a quick in and out, so there was not enough time for any security patrol to get mobilized. Allegedly, there are smaller Mister Peanuts and a sit-with-Mister-Peanut photo-op but these are closer to the facility and in a specific "visitors only" area. If you find it, let me know. I'm curious. [Review 688 of 2024 - 355 in Arkansas - 21719 overall]

Like I'm gonna try to sneak past you now. #2 the customers. If you want to be surrounded by trash people trying to cash in on cheap tickets, then this is the place for you. I'd rather pay the cost of admission for 2 than actually have to sit in the same theater as any of these people. Talk about white trash at its finest. From kids yelling the entire 2 hours to grown ass adults commenting every 5 minutes. Oh and dont forget the shit you'll step In as soon as you sit down and the smell of the musty ass theater, disgusting. #3 the screen. This theater offers a projector on a sheet canvas that extends a few feet once the trailers stop. The picture is bleak/ gray and dim at best. Looks like something from the early 2000s. Look, I love going to the movies. It's the only place I can just get away. I come from NWA and major cities where people actually give a fuck about sitting in a theater. If you want a quiet experience, dont come here. If you want it to be clean or comfortable, dont come here. If you're look for a cheap matinee, then this might be it. ALL IN ALL 0 STARS.
