150 Years of Companionship
The Eureka Springs Historical Museum is pleased to present our newest temporary exhibit! 150 Years of Companionship showcases the pets, strays, curious critters, and working animals who made their mark on the history of our town. Additional historical artifacts loaned by Good Shepherd Humane Society are included in the display, highlighting the Society's fascinating past.
Take the Tour
A self-guided tour through our museum illustrates the history of the healing springs and the founding of our city. Permanent and temporary exhibits depict the indigenous people who first discovered the springs, the hardships of pioneer life, the Victorian renaissance that transformed Eureka Springs into a world-renowned health resort, and the arts and counter-culture movement that shaped us into the “town where misfits fit."

Jailbird Ball
125 years ago, four inmates of the Eureka Springs Jailhouse planned a daring escape! Why, you might ask? For freedom, or to escape the noose? Nope. To attend a local dance! To pay tribute to this fun bit of local history, we invite you to join us for an evening of mugshots, music and entertainment by MELONLIGHT and DJ TESTUBE, PLUS food, dancing, hilarious history, and hijinks!
