Bentonville, Arkansas

Bentonville is one of the most exciting cities in America right now. This town is growing so fast and yet maintaining it's small town charm. Formerly known at Osage, Arkansas (named after the Osage Indians) Bentonville has always been a business hub and is now the World Headquarters of Walmart. Our tour will include stops at the Walmart Visitors Center Museum on the square, in the same building that Sam Walton started his Waltons 5 & 10 Store. You will see Sam's old Ford truck that he drove pretty much everywhere he went. We will also visit one of the best Native American History museums you will ever visit. It's call the Museum of Native American History. And though it's small, it is world class. You might not think you or your group will enjoy it, but we can assure you they will. We allow approximately 30 minutes here. We then leave Bentonville to make a short drive to the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel at Bella Vista. This is a sister chapel to the more famous Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs. Many people think this chapel is even prettier and more welcoming than Thorncrown.

You will ride slowly and smoothly through the charming and beautiful historic district as our guide share the fascinating history of Eureka Springs and pointing out many of the beautiful buildings, homes and natural beauty spots also.
Stop #1 - The Crescent Hotel
We stop here for approximately 20 minutes, to give you time to check out America's Most Haunted Hotel, enjoy the scenic mountain view from the 4th floor and have time for a restroom break as well. You will learn all about the 1886 Crescent Hotel. A "dry stack" building that cost almost 1/3 of a million dollars to build in 1886.
Stop #2 - Grotto Spring
We make a brief stop at this spring, to give us ample time to explain the history of our healing springs that made Eureka Springs so famous in the 1800's, and why they are no longer used for any medical or commercial use whatsoever. Due to the steps going down into the grotto being limestone and subject to being slippery due to the moisture of the spring and the rains we get, there are times we do not actually get off at this stop. For safety reasons.
