Steam still rises above the ancient springs, hiding stories that ripple beneath the surface of Hot Springs. This city promises more than spa days and southern charm.

On this self-guided audio tour, wind through streets where history simmers and mystery lingers. Unlock tales and secrets even lifelong locals overlook.

Who sabotaged legendary entertainers backstage at the Malco Theatre when the lights fell dark? What secret pact, whispered within Bank OZK Arena’s echoing walls, nearly changed Arkansas politics overnight? Why did a single, ordinary fountain spark a turf war that spilled across downtown’s oldest corners?

Move from bathhouses to bright marquees, following paths carved by rebels, renegades, and dreamers. Expect surprises in sunlit parks and smoky halls both—each landmark reveals a pulse of drama and intrigue woven into the city’s very bones.

So listen closely. The springs are calling, and the real story of Hot Springs is ready to rise.
