About the Pebley Center
The Olive, Kathleen, and Rosa Belle A. Pebley Historical and Cultural Center Collection focuses primarily on the early history of Fort Smith and the immediate surrounding counties. The Pebley sisters, pictured at left, made a bequest to the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith to further education about Arkansas and its social and cultural history. The bequest resulted in the establishment of the Pebley Center in 2003.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Pebley Center is to collect, preserve, and make available for research those materials significant to the history of Sebastian, Polk, Crawford, Logan and Scott counties in Arkansas and of LeFlore County and Sequoyah County in Oklahoma.
