Eureka Springs – Voices of the Silent City
The history of Eureka Springs is filled with many colorful characters.
Charles Conner, Carnegie Library Contractor
Not intended to be spooky, volunteers in period clothing portray some of the early citizens of Eureka Springs. Some of the characters were pillars of the community and others were figures whose colorful, outrageous or scandalous behavior helped shape the history and the myths of the town. This is an approximately one hour walking tour that includes 5 minute stops with each “citizen.” Tours are scheduled to start around 5:30 p.m. and will leave every twenty minutes, the last one ending at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets may be purchased at the event. Free parking and shuttle service will be available at Eastgate Shopping Center located on Highway 62 East across from Passion Play Road.
This is a wonderful fundraising project of the Historical Museum and proceeds are used to finance daily operations, special exhibits and on-going restoration projects. The all new 2011 fall tour is scheduled for two weekends in October, the 14th & 15th and 28th & 29th.
For more information, call the Museum at 479/253-9417.

1/2 pound bittersweet chocolate (hershey’s special dark chips)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Chop chocolate or use chocolate chips and place in a 2-quart bowl.
Place cream in a micro-wave safe measuring cup and bring to a boil (about 1 minute). Pause and bring to a boil twice more (should take only a few seconds the second and third time). Wait 20 seconds, then pour the cream over the chocolate. Use a spoon to blend the chocolate until it is soft. Whisk starting in the center of the bowl and gradually work out.
