The Flocking of Carrie Nation

Jacqueline Froelich

A valuable mural of early 20th century American prohibitionist, Carrie Nation, painted by noted mid-20th century Ozarks artist Louis Freund was almost lost--buried beneath flocked wallpaper. We travel to Eureka Springs Historical Museum to learn about efforts to restore the mural and about the life of Carrie Nation, who settled in Eureka Springs, just before her death in 1911.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
