These samples were collected with the permission of the land owner and under the guidance and supervision of local members and proper authorities Native Americans originally discovered this haven of natural springs with healing properties, surrounded by lush forests and rugged cliffs. News of this mystical place spread, drawing people from far and wide in search of solace and rejuvenation. Eureka Springs quickly blossomed into a vibrant community. Following its grand opening in 1886, the Crescent Hotel swiftly established itself as a premier destination for the elite and well-to-do. For the next fifteen years, the hotel was operated by the E.S.I.C and was an exclusive hot spot for the elite. In 1902, the hotel was leased to the Frisco Railroad for five years. Due to slow business in the winter, Crescent College opened and provided education to females until 1934. In 1937, Norman Baker, a charismatic yet fraudulent figure, acquired the Crescent Hotel and embarked on an ambitious venture. He transformed the hotel into the Baker Cancer Clinic, presenting himself as a visionary healer and claiming to possess the elusive “cure” for cancer. Baker, known for his dubious nature, had amassed considerable wealth from cancer sufferers, leveraging his self-proclaimed abilities and extravagant promotions such as the Madame Pearl Tangley Show and his invention, the Air Calliaphone. He rechristened the Crescent as the “Castle in the Air,” broadcasting his controversial claims over the radio, asserting that he could heal cancer without resorting to surgical procedures. Advertisements for the Baker Hospital said "Where sick folk get well" Claiming they could cure any illness including cancer. Baker’s treatments and medical theories held no credibility in the legitimate medical world. Nonetheless, his methods and outrageous claims caught the attention of the American Medical Association, serving as a stark example of what cancer treatment should not involve. However, it was Baker’s unethical practices in acquiring patients that ultimately led to his downfall. In 1940, he was arrested and imprisoned for mail fraud, putting an end to his reign. Norman Baker had a morgue in the basement of this hotel which is still there to this day. He collected "specimens" from cancer sufferers and kept them in jars. In 2019 excavation found hundreds of these jars buried on the grounds of the hotel. He took advantage of cancer patients and got wealthy with no "real cure" available. Numerous other stories of deaths are told. One was of a carpenter who fell to his death during construction. Another was a girl who jumped from the 3rd floor to her death.
