Eureka Springs has all the vintage charm of a Victorian town or a Swiss city. The winding streets are filled with images of the past - nostaligic buildings, beautiful mansions, and mountain scenery. Christ of the Ozarks, a well-known statue with outstretched arms, overlooks the community that is filled with vintage chic.
Although Eureka Springs is home to the famous haunted hotel, The Crescent, to St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church once featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not, to the Great Passion Play, and to many unique bed and breakfast homes, the downtown district is the city's crown jewel.
The Eureka Springs Downtown Historic District has been called "America's Victorian Village". Historic buildings preserve the style of the early 1900's. Shops line both sides of the narrow main Spring Street that winds down the side of a rugged mountain. These shops are as unique as their individual owners and sell a variety of goods that include Arkansas diamonds, home made fudge and other confections, collectibles, art, accessories, and bath products. Downtown Eureka Springs is the ideal spot to find something out of the ordinary for everyone on your holiday gift list.
Some of the most unusual shops include Frog Fantasies at 151 Spring Street. Frogs in every shape, size, and form possible abound in this unique shop. Gift items are attractive and delightful. This whimsical store offers so many items that if you aren't a frog collector before you enter the store, you will be when you leave! Another fascinating store is called It's About Time. In It's About Time, shoppers will find women's skin care products and bath products in many scents. Look for jewelry, artwork, pocket knives, and limited editon prints too. It's About Time is located at 99 Spring Street.
