On this tour you will learn all about how Eureka Springs got started as a health spa city, and how we grew to be the 4th largest city in the entire state of Arkansas. You will also learn some of the reasons Robert Ripley, of Ripley's Believe It Or Not! fame, called Eureka Springs one of the 10 most unusual places in America. On the tour we will visit and make stops at the following places:

You will also see the church that Robert Ripley, of Ripley's Believe It Or Not called "The only church in the world that you enter through the bell tower." This is referring to the Saint Elizabeth's Catholic Church. Though we won't be able to stop and go inside, we do stop for photos and to give the interesting history about the building.

Thorncrown Chapel has become the highlight of the local tour. This building was nominated in 2000 for the "Design of the Century" award given by the American Institute of America (AIA). You really need to think about that. Just think about how many homes, public buildings, airports, hospitals, estates and mansions that have been built since 1900. There are literally millions. So, just to be nominated is incredible, and wait until you find out where it wound up in the competition. You will be impressed.
At the end of the tour you will have a very thorough knowledge of Eureka Springs' past and present, and will have a true appreciation for "America's Victorian Village."
