Benjamin McCulloch

No, they never did.

When they left in March 1862, he was arrested by Confederate General Ben McCulloch and detained at Fort Smith, then released when McCulloch died at Pea Ri- the Battle of Pea Ridge, and he went back to Fayetteville, but he was warned of a plot to kill him, so he escaped behind Union lines in Missouri, came back in 1862 to get his wife and children, and never again lived in the house.

Headquarters to both, kind of home to none at the end, but absolutely beautiful, and you can tour it most days.

You probably need to call ahead.
