Thorncrown Chapel

A very tranquil, inspiring setting... Enjoy.

Thorncrown Chapel is located just outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  It was designed by E. Fay Jones and built in 1980.  The chapel was commissioned by Jim Reed, retired schoolteacher.  His plan was to build a retirement home on the property, however when other people admired the location and stopped by to get a better view of the beautiful Ozark hills, he decided instead of fencing them out, he should invite them in!  Today, Thorncrown Chapel has had over 6 million visitors.
