Dairy Hollow House

Dairy Hollow House was a country inn and restaurant in the Ozark mountain community of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Notable guests over the years included Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton (who gave a talk at a fund-raiser for the Arkansas Literacy Council[2] in the restaurant in 1989), feminist Betty Friedan, writers Bobbie Ann Mason, Dee Brown,[3] and Lucian Truscott IV,[4] Helen Walton, widow of Walmart founder Sam Walton, musicians Andy Williams and John P. Hammond, and actress Mercedes McCambridge.

[citation needed] Southern Living described Ned Shank as "a fairy godmother, bearded and beaming, brimming with good cheer."

In 1998, Shank and Dragonwagon began the process of dissolving the inn, to create a non-profit organization called the Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow.

Though Dragonwagon no longer lives in the area and has frequently told media that her "only connection with it is historical", the organization continues, in altered form.
