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, Bld. #803, Fort Smith, AR.
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.
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.
All proceeds benefit the Chaffee Barbershop & Military Museum, helping preserve and share Fort Chaffee’s rich military and cultural history.
