ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Eureka Springs Historical Museum presents “Voices from Eureka’s Silent City”, a living history lantern-guided cemetery tour. This special evening experience features character actors portraying colorful individuals buried in the historic city cemetery, sharing the stories of their lives and times in Eureka Springs. The theme for 2026 is "Tales from New Town" and will focus on individuals and their experiences along the upper rim (now HWY 62) of South Eureka.

DATES:
Cemetery tours are scheduled from 5:30pm to 8:30pm for the evenings of Oct 15, 16, 17, 22, and 23. Please check-in between 5pm and 7pm to avoid longer wait times.

TICKETS:
Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Tickets may be purchased at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum located at 95 S. Main Street, at local CS Bank locations, online through this website, or at the parking lot on the night of the performances. There are no reserved tickets for specific days or times. Tickets are good for admission to a single tour on any of the event dates. Tours are first come, first serve, and there may be a line during busy times. Ticket price includes our special trolley ride to/from the cemetery, plus a free souvenir program booklet.

PICKUP OR WILL CALL:
Tickets ordered online can be picked up in person at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum at 95 S. Main Street in Eureka Springs, or you can simply show your ticket purchase email confirmation ("will call") at the event parking area at 4032 E Van Buren in Eureka Springs. Physical paper tickets will not be shipped.

PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION:
There is no parking available for this event at the city cemetery. All attendees must park at the "Cup of Love" parking lot at 4032 E Van Buren (Hwy 62), where our free trolley will shuttle you to the cemetery for your tour.

RAIN OR SHINE:
Our cemetery tours operate rain or shine, so we recommend dressing warm and bringing an umbrella or poncho if inclement weather is in the forecast. There's nothing quite like glowing lanterns in a misty fog rolling through the cemetery! Also, remember that your ticket is good for a single performance on any of our tour nights, so you may choose to attend on a different evening if the weather is too much for you.
