The next Stay-at-Home Lecture is scheduled for Thursday, November 6th, from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm via Zoom. Tim Nutt, Director of the UAMS Historical Research Center, will present “Eureka Springs and Its Place in Arkansas Medical History.” Eureka Springs, incorporated in 1879, is known for its winding streets, the Crescent Hotel, and its mineral springs. In the late 19th Century, the city was a resort destination for those seeking healing in the springs that dotted the landscape. The springs not only attracted visitors to the city, though, but they also drew charlatans, such as “Dr.” Norman Baker, looking to take advantage of those in ill health.
