1920's Eureka Springs 

The original film needs to be restored and speed-corrected. What an amazing historical piece of esoterica!

What a fantastic find! Very hard to watch, but so historical. Thanks for sharing.

thank you for posting. i just went to eureka springs yesterday for the first time. i really enjoyed this film.

neat i lived in arkansas all my life ive never seen this video. i grew up in pea ridge arkansas.

Go to eureka every year for vacation, wonderful, great, wish i could stay year round,greatest people,visit the clock shop down town

this is amazing footage,we are lucky to have even this much of it to survive...

I live here. In fact, the Crescent Hotel ghosts look just like the ladies @ 4:44!

The end reminded me of the Mad Hatter's Ball that is still held at the Crescent today. In fact I think it is this week sometime.

actually, the waters there were healing. They found radium in the water which is known to cure diseases.

I hope to visit Eureka someday. Looks like the name of this little film is called "The Town Of Up And Down". Pictured in the heart of the Ozarks. The date is around 1919 as Goldwyn pictures shot this for the Ford Motor Company. Goldwyn pictures was defunct in 1924 and merged with Metro. The studio existed from 1916-24. Is this on 8,16, or 35mm? Looks like it was hand cranked as the film plays back faster than the frame rate it was shot at. I think you have got a rarity here. Very cool!

@photolitherland ahhh but they were healing waters...full of minerals and the waters in Hot Springs are HOT! Taking a bath wasn't an everyday thing back then...couldn't hurt! LOL!

@photolitherland NW Arkansas

Kind of too late to tell them that now LOL
