Blue Springs Heritage Center in Eureka Springs, AR
When you find a special place to visit on vacation, it's all you can do to make the arrangements and get there. For many people, the Blue Springs Heritage Center in Eureka, AR is that kind of place. Those interested in history, nature, or simply finding a nice place to spend time with family and friends will be enchanted with this lovely center. The famous bluff shelter located on the grounds was recently named one of the newest additions to the National Register of Historic Places. This honor helps ensure that the bluff shelter and many of the other purely natural attractions around it are protected by federal law and will never be damaged by man made development. Another factor that the Blue Springs Heritage Center has going for it is that the Trail of Tears, well known as the route taken by the Cherokee Indians when they were driven from their homelands in the East, winds its way through the center.
Even if the historic element that is so important to this attraction isn't for you, the gardens, both planned and unplanned, are something to behold. One of the simplest ways to enjoy the abundance of green life is to hike the 1 mile or so trail found on the property. You can expect it to reflect the native plant and flower life given the season of your visit. New, planned gardens have been developed with native to Ozarks crops, plants and flowers, as well as healing herbs to give guests a look at what people in generations past would have used in their time.
