tart where it all began. Before you stroll through the streets and shops of historic Eureka Springs, Arkansas, plan to make your first stop the Eureka Springs Historical Museum.

Located in the historic 1889 Calif House, the ESHM will educate and entertain you and your whole family. This historic three-story structure was made from limestone taken from the nearby White River. It houses a variety of exhibits preserving the history and art of this health resort town and its people.

Come and learn how this "chaotic tent city of 10,000 souls exploded into a Victorian Health Spa with 54 luxuriouis hotels." Calif Spring is only one of the 62 springs within the city limits of Eureka Springs that brought health seekers to this Ozark haven.

Stop in and visit our Art Exhibit. We showcase the works of renowned local artists such as Louis and Elsie Freund and Glenn Gant, to name just a few. Enjoy our hands-ons crafts and exhibits such as The Cora Pinkley Call Log Cabin and Gardens. If genealogy is your interest, then search our archives for some family treasures or any special study.

"Sophia's Parlor", a replica of a Victorian parlor, is available for receptions or teas. Visit the gift shop for Eureka related items and books. Costumed guided school and group tours are available with advanced reservations.
