Mary Ann your cage is welcome,will try and give directions,come down 540 to 40 west at Alma,then take first exit to Fort Smith/Van Buren 540 go to the second exit to where highway 59 is, not sure what that exit is,anyways take that exit go 59 north follow the 59 north sign and it will bring you right beside the court house.hope you understand these directions,maybe someone else can give you better one's
