War Eagle

War Eagle Mills Farm is in the Ozarks region of Arkansas. It is the site of the War Eagle Mill, as well as the largest Arts and Crafts fair in the Ozarks, which is held twice a year in the Spring and Fall.

Get in

War Eagle is very remote. From Rogers or Eureka Springs, take Highway 62 and turn onto Highway 303, a small rural road. From Springdale or Huntsville (Arkansas), take US-412, and turn onto Highway 303. If you are attending the fair, there is traffic congestion on the one-lane iron bridge across the War Eagle River, so the best approach is from the south via US-412 and Arkansas Hwy 303.

Get around

The only way is walking. For the fair, you can park in the ample free parking areas that are set up.
