Eureka Springs Carnegie Library [Arkansas, March 2010: Green Forest Loop]

Eureka Springs Carnegie Library

The Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library is one of four Arkansas library buildings built with funding by Andrew Carnegie, one of hundreds of such institutions created with help from the wealthy philanthropist in the early years of the 20th century. This library was started in 1910 and finished in 1912. This beautiful Classical Revival-style building was constructed of locally quarried stone, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

I enjoy riding bicycles all over -- city streets, suburbia, rural roads, gravel roads, dirt roads, rail-trails, and singletrack. I love exploring the countryside and finding the interesting and historical treasures hidden in plain site.
