Listen Later

This month, we traveled to western Arkansas to visit Miss Laura's Brothel Museum in Fort Smith. In this episode, we discuss our tour, the background of the museum, and the history of brothels.

Miss Laura’s Brothel Museum was once a premier Victorian brothel, built in 1898 and run by Laura Ziegler and later Bertha Gale. Known for its elegance and high standards, it was a popular establishment in Fort Smith.
