Since Ft. Smith was served by the Frisco as well as the MoPac, we invited Frisco enthusiasts to join with us. There was content appropriate for both roads.

Convention Hotel
The convention hotel will be the Marriott Courtyard Fort Smith Downtown. We have negotiated a special room rate for attendees which includes a breakfast buffet in the hotel bistro area. It is strongly recommended that you make your hotel reservations as early as possible. Remember that using the convention hotel facility for your lodging helps keep the convention costs low. As a token of our appreciation for using the convention hotel for your lodging, every attendee that rents a room for at least two nights will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate from the MPHS Company Store.

Activities & Schedule
Some of the activities are still in the planning stage. As soon as everything is finalized, a complete schedule will be published. There will be the usual activities including the BOD meeting, membership business meeting, presentations and the swap meet along with some activities specific to Ft. Smith.
There are lots of areas of interest within walking distance of the hotel in downtown Ft. Smith. We are working on a lineup of non-rail activities for spouses and other family members. Some will be group activities and others will be “on your own.” Some locations of interest are shown on this map.
