    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Elvis Haircut Day Brings History to Life at Fort Chaffee

    FORT SMITH, AR — The Chaffee Crossing Historic District invites the public to step into history during Elvis Haircut Day, taking place Saturday, March 28, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Chaffee Barbershop & Military Museum, located at 7313 Terry Street. The event commemorates the moment in 1958 when Elvis Presley received his G.I. haircut at 
    Fort Chaffee upon entering the U.S. Army—a moment often referred to as “the haircut heard ’round the world.” Visitors will have the unique opportunity to get a haircut in the very place where that historic event occurred. Haircuts will be provided by DeSigner Barber Academy for a $10 donation, with FREE haircuts offered to military and veterans. Walk-ins are welcome,
    and no appointment is necessary. All proceeds benefit the Chaffee Barbershop & Military Museum, helping preserve and share Fort Chaffee’s rich military and cultural history. “Elvis Haircut Day is about more than a haircut—it’s about connecting people to a powerful moment in American history,” said Jennifer Seaton-Rambo. “We’re proud to honor our veterans while
    inviting the community to experience history in a hands-on way.”

    The Chaffee Barbershop & Military Museum preserves more than 80 years of Fort Chaffee history, from World War II training to refugee operations and disaster response, making it a cornerstone of the Chaffee Crossing Historic District. For more information, follow Chaffee Crossing Historic District on social media, view the website at https://www.chaffeecrossinghistoricdistrict.com/events-1/elvis-haircut-day, visit the museum during regular hours Tuesday-Saturday 9:00AM- 4:00 PM, or contact Jennifer at Jennifer@chaffeecrossing.com | (479) 651-9917.
