What was once "The Southern Club", Hot Springs' largest and finest casino and supper club until the late 1960s, became the Josephine Tussaud Wax Museum in 1971. The museum was operated by E. L. Lane until July 2002, when it was purchased by the Roberts' Family, who operate it very much like Mr. Lane. There are currently 38 exhibits featuring more than 100 wax figures on display. An extensive gift shop was added on the first level with an impressive display of keepsakes.
