What Are the Must-See Things to Do in Hot Springs, Arkansas?

05 Take a Tour of Criminal History at the Gangster Museum

Spas and shootouts may seem like an odd mix, but the town of Hot Springs was once frequented by some of the most famous criminals in U.S. history, along with its more genteel patrons. To commemorate this, the city founded the Gangster Museum of America. The museum features exhibits about the bootlegging, illegal gambling, and other notorious criminal activities that once went on here, as well as profiles of the lives and times of famous gangsters.
