The Northrup Theater in Syracuse opened April 7, 1930 with "Footlights and Fools" starring Colleen Moore. The ornate "art deco" paint job on the interior was added in the forties. The building has been restored and is operated by the Chamber of Commerce.

If you're feeling adventurous take the river road along the south side of the river from Syracuse to Coolidge. It is a beautiful drive with the Arkansas River on one side, surrounded by cottonwoods, and on the other side, sage covered hills and wildflowers.

For about five miles just west of Syracuse, highway US 50 follows the original path of the mountain route of the Santa Fe Trail.
