Summary

This weeks episode is a little different than our regular episodes, we are going to cover the history of The Crescent Hotel and the owner who made it famous, Norman Baker. The Crescent Hotel, located in Eureka Springs, has the moniker of being the most haunted hotel in America due in large part to Norman Baker who ran a "hospital" back in the 1930's where dozens of people died. Join us for a little history lesson and unlike most episodes, you might actually learn something.

Fun Fact: Did you know Arkansas has a museum that houses one of the most extensive art collections in the United States? Forget New York or Los Angeles, if you want to see art from Warhol to Rockwell, stop by the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas. Founded by one of the Walton's, you know the people who own Walmart, you can stop in and enjoy this Museum in the woods, admission is always free!
