Eureka Springs Historic loop and architecture

The Historic Loop is a wonderful series of streets that is literally a parade of Victorian Era homes – beautiful architecture.  This historic district features turrets and stained glass windows and it is quite obvious that the citizens of Eureka are very proud of their investments in the Historic District, not just from the maintenance and upkeep but the way they will decorate the outside of their homes for Halloween and Christmas.   The historic loop is a place of great Eurekan activity.  In the Spring it is home to the White Street walk where visitors and Eureka Locals come out to see the artist’s works on display and up for sale.   In the Fall – you can bear witness to one of the states largest Trick or Treating events as the Loop is packed on Halloween night. 

Another little known fact is that you can preview most of the parades in Eureka springs as the parads take the Loop to get to the top of Springs Street, a great place to see the parades before the rest of the town does.
