In my post about  Eureka Springs and War Eagle Mill, I mentioned touring Van Winkle Hollow. Well, to my dismay, we turned around at Van Winkle Hollow and went back toward Eureka Springs….As I understand it, about a mile further west on Highway 12 there is a visitor’s center….Dang, we missed it, so now we will have to make plans for another trip…For the Van Winkle Family who have not been that way lately, you need to go…I hope you will…The State of Arkansas, or whoever is responsible for that work,  did an excellent job…And don’t do like us and miss the visitor’s center…Pete Hester….PS, oh, and I am married to Peter Van Winkle’s grandson, Albert Pike Van Winkle’s middle child and she”s a good’un….PS, Jr… for your information, the information about the visitor’s center was told to me by Marilyn Hicks, who wrote a book on the Van Winkle’s, filled with tons of genealogy about the Van Winkle family. If you are interested in purchasing one of her books, write me and I will forward your note on to her. The reason I said it that way is because I have not asked her permission to offer her book on this post, but I don’t think it will make her mad…..kidding, and thanks for reading the post.
