Bald Knob Cross will be a very popular spot for viewing this phenomenon.
Get your tickets early! There has been a great amount of interest shown in our “spot on” location for the best viewing of this rare eclipse. We’re working with the Solar Eclipse Committee and other area businesses on planning this incredible event, but suffice it to say that Bald Knob Cross will be a very popular spot for viewing this phenomenon.
Gates will open at 8 am. Plan on arriving by 10 am. Partial Eclipse should begin around 11:30 am with Totality at 1 pm.
