Two Scoops You Jerk

Continued our adventure into Fort Smith where we visited the museum.  It was located just across the way from the historic site we visited yesterday.  This museum is basically a pictorial representation and some artifacts of Fort Smith's past.  Got lots of pics, a ride on a working trolly, and polished it off with root beer and coke floats in an old fashioned soda jerk drugstore located in the museum.  It was hot after the trolly ride and the 2 scoops of ice cream melting in home-made soda was really good!  The term used by a kid who made these in the past was "soda jerk" due to the action of jerking the handle to insert carbonated water into the syrup.
