The Eureka Springs Historical Museum is an official Visitor Center for the city. We have all of the maps, brochures, and tourist guides you need to make the best of your time in Eureka Springs. Complete your introduction to our charming city with a self-guided tour through the museum, with exhibits on both the first and second floors of the restored 1889 Calif House. We look forward to your visit and the opportunity to share the history of Eureka Springs with you.
How to Get Here
The Eureka Springs Historical Museum & Visitor Center is located near the south entrance to the town, on HWY-23 (Main Street).
Our address is:
95 S. Main Street, Eureka Springs, AR 72632
Parking + Transportation
Ride the Trolley!
One of the best ways to get around town is also one of the oldest! Our earliest trolleys were actually pulled by mules, and by 1899 electric streetcars were installed.
The public transit “trolley" buses that you see today follow many of the same routes, and are a relaxing way to get from one part of town to another without having to locate parking at each stop. Trolley routes are designated by color, with the Red Route covering the downtown historic loop. All-day passes are available for sale in the museum and from Eureka Springs Transit.
Museum Parking
We offer limited free parking while you are inside the museum. After-hours and overnight parking is not allowed.
Paid Parking
Paid parking is available directly across the street using the ParkMobile App, zone # 1636.
Additional paid parking lots are located on Main Street. These privately owned parking lots are enforced 24 hours a day.
Other Parking
City-owned parking lots are located on Main Street by the Eureka Springs City Hall and Auditorium, and utilize the Passport Parking App.
City-owned metered spots are free after 6pm.
Accessibility
The 1889 Calif House that houses the museum and visitor center is a historic multi-level structure with no elevator. There is a single step on the front porch to access the entrance. Otherwise, the first floor is accessible to visitors using strollers, scooters, walkers, wheelchairs, and mobility devices. To view exhibits on the second floor, visitors must climb stairs. Please inquire at the front desk if you will only be touring the first floor of the museum, and we can provide discounted admission.
