These projects include the seven-story Christ of the Ozarks statue, the Sacred Arts Museum, the New Holy Land, and the Bible Museum. On average, over 100,000 people are drawn to these attractions every year. back to top About the Author Dr. Timothy M. Kovalcik, a native of Eureka Springs and a former cast member in the Great Passion Play, is currently a professor of history at Millikin University.
