Hot Springs – 2024
Our 2024 tour, held in Hot Springs September 27-28, featured the works of legendary Arkansas architect I. Granger McDaniel. McDaniel’s life story is extraordinary; in fact, his experiences during World War II inspired a Hollywood film. After the war, he designed many buildings in Hot Springs, reshaping the city’s appearance in the mid-20th century.
