Eureka Springs Cemetery Tour Back for 7th Year

(Eureka Springs, AR) The Eureka Springs Historical Museum announces dates for the seventh annual “Voices from Eureka's Silent City” living history tours at the city cemetery. This year's performances will take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, October 15, 16 and 17, and again on the 30 and 31, 2015. 

One-hour walking tours depart every twenty minutes beginning at 5:30pm, until 8:30pm. This year's theme is “Service and Philanthropy,” and promises everyone a “Spirited Good Time”.

Actors and guides will present compelling stories of some of Eureka's former leaders in service and philanthropy who now reside in the Silent City, the Eureka Springs City Cemetery: A WWI Army Colonel, a socialite, a prominent lawyer/mayor, a descendant of a Native American Chief, and an early proponent of baseball, among others. 

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under. They will be available soon at the museum at 95 South Main Street, all Cornerstone Bank locations, and at the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce at Pine Mountain Village. Or, as always, tickets may also be purchased at the parking site on the performance dates.

Free parking will again be available at the former Victorian Inn property on US Hwy 62 East, with free shuttle service to the nearby cemetery. (There is no parking at the cemetery.)

This event is a fundraiser for the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, a 501c3 non-profit, and is co-sponsored by Cornerstone Bank, Local Flavor Cafe and The Aquarius Taqueria.
