Questions

Common questions.

What is Ravenden Springs known for?

The town was established in 1880 after Rev. William Bailey reported a recurring dream that led him to a healing spring, and it became known as the Dream Town. Captain R. D. Welsh's company built the 40-room Southern Hotel in 1883, and the summer population exceeded 1,800 during the spa's peak.

What is the terrain like at Ravenden Springs?

The town sits in the easternmost extension of the Ozark Mountains in western Randolph County at 443 feet elevation. Hall's Creek runs through town, its canyon walls rise about 200 feet, and Elephant Cave lies at the bottom of a high stone bluff in the canyon.

Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?

Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
