SIGNS

Our newest special exhibit is called SIGNS. Included in this display is a collection of historical signage and waymarkers from the museum archives, as well as some fascinating insights on the different approaches to commercial advertising that Eureka Springs has experienced over the years.

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."
