Did You Know...

The Eureka Springs Preservation Society is a member of the Historic Preservation Alliance of Arkansas?

As the only statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to saving Arkansas's architectural and cultural heritage, the Alliance is often in the thick of the battle. From saving historic buidings to promoting preservation-friendly legislation locally and in the State Capitol, the Alliance works diligently to promote preservation efforts across the state.

And Consider...

According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, historic preservation stimulates the local economy. Over three-quarters of the economic benefits of rehabilitation remain in the local community where the projects are located.
