THORNCROWN CHAPEL EUREKA SPRINGS, AR

Out of the woods overlooking the Ozark hills rises a stunning steel and glass structure that is strangely compatible with the nature that surrounds it. The dream of Arkansas native Jim Reed, the award-winning chapel was completed in 1980. It offers visitors an inspiring place to pause and reflect on life’s blessings. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. thorncrown.com
