With Spring weather on the way, everyone will be soon be looking to get outside.  Why not try exploring one of the several natural caves in the area?

War Eagle Cavern opens for the season on March 10, 2007 and has both above ground and underground activities.  You can take an easy one mile tour of the nature trails or a more challenging a spelunking tour.  The fortune hunters in your family can even pan for treasure at the War Eagle mining company. Here’s an article on the cavern, which is located off Hwy 12 between Rogers and Eureka Springs (map).

The Wilson Park Castle

January 2, 2007 | 1 Comment

Have you ever watched your kids playing on the castle at the northeast end of Wilson Park in Fayetteville and wondered what in the world is this structure and how did it get here?  The structure, called Point 7 was designed and built by Frank Williams in 1979-1980.  Williams described the structure as a “fantasy play castle sculpture garden” in his public address delivered in 2005 during the castle’s twenty-fifth anniversary celebration. According to William’s website, he has recreated scale models of two bronze sculptures entitled PAN and OLD GUARD that were originally designed for the project but were never built.  He hopes that there will be interest in commissioning these structures for Point 7 in the future.
