Depart from Little Rock on Interstate 40 north to Conway. Take Ark. 65 north to Harrison and then Ark. 62 northwest to Eureka Springs.

Day One:

• Arrive in Eureka Springs and head downtown, the entire area of which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation named Eureka Springs one of its Dozen Distinctive Destinations.
  
  
• Take a historical tour of the city aboard the Eureka Springs Trolley. This is a great way to acclimate yourself to your surroundings, and view the beautiful Victorian architecture of the town.
  
  
• Attend America’s #1 outdoor religious drama, the Great Passion Play. The story of Jesus’ last days on earth, this live drama is staged in an outdoor amphitheater from late April through late October, nightly except Mondays and Thursdays.

Thorncrown Chapel

Day 2

• Visit Thorncrown Chapel, a non-denominational chapel located just west of Eureka Springs, deep in the woods. Designed by nationally-recognized Arkansas architect, E. Fay Jones, it has been called by Time Magazine "one of the most popular and widely publicized of new American buildings." Located next to it is the Thorncrown Worship Center, a larger glass and wood structure also designed by Jones.
  
  
• Vintage steam locomotives and passenger cars, restored to their original condition, comprise the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Railway. The train travels the same scenic route Victorian tourists did through the Ozark Mountains and offers lunch and dinner on its elegant dining car.
  
  
• At Blue Spring Heritage Center, historic Blue Spring, which was a stop on the Trail of Tears, pours 38 million gallons of water each day into its trout stocked lagoon. View the historic film, stroll the garden paths and visit the bluff shelter on the National Register.
  
  
• Discover unique restaurants and venues for live music or country music shows to round out your night.
