The City of Eureka Springs was founded and named on July 4, 1879. By late 1879, the estimated population of Eureka Springs reached 10,000 people and in 1881, the town was declared a “City of the First Class,” the fourth largest city in Arkansas. Named one of America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Eureka Springs first drew interest because of its natural springs with purported healing powers. It was settled in the late 1800’s as a spa destination, and today its entire downtown district is on the National Register of Historic Places. The city is now nationally renowned for its art and well preserved Victorian-era architecture.
You will learn about the history of Eureka Springs and the development of the city as well as the history of the railroad.
For the last lecture, you will travel to Eureka Springs where you will have your final session and take a driving tour of the city with lunch on the Eureka Springs & North Railway. You may either register for the lecture or the trip, or both. Lecture $29.00; Lecture & Trip $79.00. Cost includes transportation, train fare & lunch.
