Located on the front porch of the Fordyce Visitor Center and Museum is a table set up with passport stamps.

The visitor center is located on Central Avenue, downtown Hot Springs Arkansas. Located off Central Avenue and right across from all of the shops downtown, the Visitor Center is on Bathhouse Row. The Fordyce Bathhouse sits between the Maurice Bathhouse and the Quapaw Bathhouse, right next to the stone pillars which mark our grand entrance.

The Fordyce Bathhouse is a three story tan, brick building with a front porch and a green awning held up by chains. The porch features rocking chairs and a table to get passport stamps. There are many windows decorated with carved stone around the perimeter, and the tan bricks are placed to from a pattern of diamonds around the walls.
