Drennen-Scott House
Source

The Drennen-Scott House, located on North 3rd Street in Van Buren, Arkansas, is a historic house museum. This location offers visitors a chance to step back in time and explore the history of the area. The house itself is a single-story log structure, finished in clapboards, with a side-gable roof that has a slight bell-cast shape due to the projection of the roof over the front porch that extends across the width of its main block.

Historical Significance of Drennen-Scott House

The Drennen-Scott House was built in 1836 by John Drennen, one of the first settlers of Van Buren. Drennen, along with his brother-in-law David Thompson, were responsible for platting the town. Drennen was also politically active, serving in the territorial and state legislatures, and at the state constitutional convention. This historical context adds a layer of significance to the house, making it a symbol of the early settlement and development of Van Buren.
