Eureka Springs Attractions – Discovering the Arts

Eureka Springs Art Gallery

Eureka Springs Art Gallery

Eureka Springs is located in the Ozarks of northwest Arkansas. It is a town rich in history and scenic beauty. Native Americans treated the area as a sacred site honoring the powers of 65 “Great Healing Springs.” Eureka Springs is often called the “City of Magic,” perhaps because of the revered waters or maybe the shadows of the enchanted Ozark Mountains. The magic certainly transcends to inspire artisans of every craft as demonstrated in the Eureka Springs art gallery district.
