Edwardian Inn

01/23/2026

Friends and neighbors, we need to talk about this weekend's weather situation. Meteorologists are calling it a potentially catastrophic ice storm, and here in the Arkansas Delta, we're right in the crosshairs. Governor Sanders has declared a state of emergency, and for good reason - we're looking at ice accumulations of up to an inch across our region.

As your neighbors at The Edwardian Inn, we want you to know we're here for our community. If you lose power and need a warm place to stay, we have rooms available. We've weathered many storms together over the past 40 years, and we'll get through this one too. Please prepare now - charge your devices, stock up on essentials, and have a plan.

Stay safe, Helena. We're all in this together.

There's a new energy humming through Helena this spring, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with y'all. Mile Zero Outdoor Festival debuts right here in our beloved Helena on April 11, 2026, bringing together cycling, running, paddling, and birding adventures that celebrate everything extraordinary about our corner of the Delta.

This isn't just another race weekend—it's a homecoming celebration that showcases the natural beauty we wake up to every day. From gravel routes winding through the St. Francis National Forest to the legendary "Low Road" marathon, Mile Zero connects our community's spirit with the landscape that shapes us. Whether you're drawn to two wheels, trail shoes, or paddle strokes, there's an adventure calling your name.

We're thrilled to welcome adventurers from near and far to experience what makes Helena so special, and we can't wait to be part of this incredible celebration of our Delta home.

Calling all cycling enthusiasts! Right here in Helena, we're sitting at the doorstep of one of Arkansas's most remarkable adventures - the Delta Heritage Trail. This incredible 84.5-mile rail-to-trail journey follows the historic Missouri Pacific Railroad corridor through the heart of our beautiful Mississippi Delta.

What makes this trail truly special is its connection to our region's rich railroad heritage. As you pedal along the crushed limestone path beneath native hardwood canopies, you're literally following the route of the famous Delta Eagle passenger train that once carried travelers between St. Louis and New Orleans. The nearly flat grade makes it perfect for cyclists of all abilities, and the shaded trail winds through Delta communities, farms, and forests that tell the story of Southeast Arkansas.

At The Edwardian Inn, we're perfectly positioned as your basecamp for this cycling adventure. After a day exploring the trail, there's nothing quite like returning to our historic 1904 mansion for Southern hospitality and a comfortable night's rest. Ready to discover the Delta on two wheels?

After 41 years of welcoming guests through our historic front doors, we're thrilled to open a new kind of door – our brand-new website! 🏡

Just as morning light streams through the original leaded glass windows of our 1904 William A. Short House, this fresh digital presence illuminates who we are and where we're headed. This isn't simply a redesign; it's the foundation for how The Edwardian Inn will serve our cherished guests for years to come.

Our new digital home marries the same timeless hospitality that's guided us since 1983 with modern functionality. From celebrating the intricate details of our period furnishings to showcasing the sprawling Delta landscapes that surround Helena, every page invites you deeper into our story. We're especially excited about our upcoming direct booking feature – because the best experiences deserve the most seamless planning! ✨

Come explore our new digital front porch and see what four decades of Delta hospitality looks like in the modern age.
