Eureka Springs
Eureka Springs is the home of the National Water Center and continues to inspire us in our efforts to heal the waters.
Eureka Springs was founded on the belief that there was healing for human ills to be found in the pure, clean spring waters which flowed freely from deep inside the earth. The community's century-long history is based on that beginning, and at least a part of the attraction to today's visitor or new resident relates to that heritage of belief in the life re-creating properties of the waters.
From the earliest days, the people recognized the need to protect and preserve the precious spring waters for the benefit of all. The first task of the city government was to establish by law large tracts of open lands, encompassing the hillsides around and above major springs. The laws and ordinances they enacted a century ago prevail today.
