Cathedral of the Ozarks

The Cathedral of the Ozarks is one of the most iconic buildings in Northwest Arkansas (NWA). This exquisite sanctuary seats 1,000 guests and has hosted a myriad of events including candlelight services, choral concerts, renowned lecturers, weddings, and musical performances. This historic building features tall, ornate stained-glass windows, beautifully crafted dark wooden pews, and a flawless limestone exterior. The Cathedral of the Ozarks's beauty is reminiscent of the rolling slopes of NWA, as was the original intent of John Brown Sr. when the Cathedral of the Ozarks was built in 1945.
