I
have a sense of complete peace at Hopkinswoode, my childhood home,
and it brings me great pleasure to invite you to experience this serenity
for yourself. My grandparents, Clarence and Laura Hopkins, built this
house in 1914 after the Missouri Pacific Railroad came to Cotter, Arkansas.
It
was a prosperous time. The Hopkinses owned myriad businesses in
town, including the lumber company, movie theatre, bank, and insurance
and
real estate companies. On twenty-seven acres of mountainside overlooking
the White River, they created a grand estate, featuring a croquet
lawn, tennis court, cold frames for the ample vegetable and flower
gardens,
a spring water system, and chicken brooding houses.
Come
and see our progress as we restore the grandeur of this peaceful
place in the heart of the Ozark Mountains.
