I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Besides the vibrant hues, one of my favorite things about the autumn season is to visit a quaint small town. In my opinion, there is something quite wholesome about all the festivities of the season. By now, you might be planning your fall adventures and getaways, right? If so, I found the perfect town for a fall day trip in Arkansas. With just over 9,000 residents, Greenwood in Sebastian County is a delightful small town with big city vibes, making it a great destination to experience the best that the autumn season has to offer.
Tucked inside the Arkansas Valley, just 15 miles south of Fort Smith, you'll find the delightful town of Greenwood and it's perfect for a fall day trip in Arkansas.
Founded in 1851, this town might seem like a big city, but it has all the small town charm that we love.
The quaint town square is a memorial dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the town. It's a gathering place for local folks for various events throughout the year.
If you visit Greenwood in October or November, you'll have the pleasure of participating in the various festivities in the town.
No trip to a small town is complete without dining at a local gem. And Holy Smoke BBQ is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. You can't go wrong with the smoky brisket or the ribs.
Between the scenic vistas, the small town festivals, as well as the historical sights, Greenwood is a great destination for a fall day trip in Arkansas.
So, will you add Greenwood to your small town fall adventures this season? Or have you been to Greenwood in the fall? If so, share your experience in the comments below.
