You Probably Won't See This Guy...

You Probably Won't See This Guy...

A city like Eureka Springs has a long history, and there are places in the city where you can take Eureka Springs Ghost Tours. Meander through the city’s historic cemetery and learn about Potter’s Field, Woodmen of the World, buried icons and folk legends.

Or visit the Crescent Hotel, a legendary Victorian Hotel that is known for the mysterious happenings on the grounds and in the guestrooms. A tour group is located in the Crescent Hotel in Suite 212. They are well-versed in the legends of the Lady in the Garden, the Nurses, Michael & Theodora. Follow them under the hotel into dark pathways to unrealized goals and dreams.

We hope to help you find everything to satisfy your curiosity while here at our Eureka Springs AR bed and breakfast.

Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down

Monday, July 13th, 2009

It is the 28 season for the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down in Eureka Springs, and there has to be a reason!  We all need a laugh and what better way to accomplish this than to go to the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down.  The show has music with a variety of hot pickin’ tunes, bluegrass, and a little classic country.  Add to that some Gospel music and comedy from P. Nutt, Granny, Girl, and you will have yourself an all around “feel good” kind of show that will leave you ready to come back for more! 

 

The evening show starts at 8 P.M., with a 7:30 comedy pre-show.  This is the best show in Eureka Springs and we suggest making reservations as we want to make sure that you do not miss out!  Guests rave about the show in their guest book and we think you will too!

Gardens of Eureka Springs Include Blue Spring Heritage Center

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

 

Guests of Arsenic & Old Lace often enjoy the Blue Spring Heritage Center in Eureka Springs.  The Blue Spring Heritage Center are home to lovely gardens filled with colors, textures, and the surprise of blooms in every season.  The site has been an attraction since 1948 and is rich in the history of the Ozark Region.  From the American Indian through prehistoric civilization, past history can be found at this location.   

 

In 1993, 33 acres were transformed into the Eureka Springs Gardens.  There are over a mile of trails winding through the Blue Spring Heritage Center with new gardens demonstrating crops, plants, flowers, and healing herbs of the Ozarks.  Cycles of flowers, herbs and plant life are tracked throughout the year.  In July, guests will enjoy flowers such as Snapdragon, Foxglove, Phlox, Verbena, and the list goes on!  One of my favorite blooming shrubs during that timeframe is Buddleia, as it is frequently visited by a variety of butterflies.  However, every month is an enjoyable time to visit the Gardens.

 

The Blue Spring Heritage Center is opened from March 15 through Thanksgiving.  Admission is $7.25 for adults, $4.00 for students 10-17, and children 9 and under have free admission.  We know that you will enjoy the peacefulness of the gardens!
