More about Eureka Springs, Arkansas

In Eureka Springs, they have 3 very special attractions.  First is the Great Passion Play, which is a reenactment of the life of Christ presented in an outdoor theater by a cast of 250 people.  The theater is on a mountain top and is next to a huge statue of Christ that overlooks the town. Here is that statue !


We then stumbled upon a section of the Berlin Wall that is on display near the statue.



At the Visitors Center we were told about the Thorncrown Chapel, which was placed fourth on the list of top buildings of the twentieth century by the American Institute of Architecture.  Its a glass chapel and it is gorgeous, especially because it is nestled in the woods.  A perfect place for a wedding but because they do not want to be known as a wedding chapel, they only allow a few each year.  Check it out !


Have a great day !  xxoo TML
