Winona Springs

Arkansas ghost towns are lead and zinc mines, timber towns, and railroad stops in the Ozarks and the Delta.

Winona Springs is an extinct town in southwest Carroll County, in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The community was located in Winona Hollow adjacent to the Winona Spring. A meander in the Kings River is about one half mile to the southeast. Berryville lies about six miles to the northeast.

Winona Springs sold the one thing the country around it didn't have: water.
