Blue Springs Heritage Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blue Springs Heritage Center 33 acres (13.4 hectares), formerly the Eureka Springs Gardens, is a historic tourist attraction containing native plants and hardwood trees in a setting of woodlands, meadows, and hillsides. It is located at Highway 62 West, five miles west of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, USA, and open daily to the public during warmer months for a fee.
Blue Springs has been a tourist attraction since 1948, and is now on the National Register of Historic Places for its associations with the Cherokee people during the Trail of Tears. The springs themselves pour 38 million US gallons (140,000 m³) of daily into the trout-filled lagoon.
