Eureka Springs’ iconic fire tower is known as the Razorback Tower, also called the Razorback Gift Shop and Observation Tower.
Fire Tower overlooks Ozarks
Rising about 100 feet above downtown at 579 W. Van Buren Street, it was originally built by the Arkansas Forestry Service as a lookout point for spotting wildfires. Today, visitors can pay a dollar in quarters, climb its narrow stairway, and be rewarded with sweeping panoramas of the Ozark Mountains. The base houses a charming gift shop—packed with rocks, jewelry, and local décor—that complements the vintage roadside tower experience thedetoureffect.com. This blend of history, adventure, and small-town kitsch makes Razorback Tower a must-stop attraction in Eureka Springs.
