CONWAY -- "Step Into: Miss Laura's" will premiere on the Arkansas Educational Television Network at 10 p.m. Sunday.
The restored Miss Laura's Social Club, once a notorious bordello, is located along the banks of the Arkansas River between Fort Smith's historic downtown and former Indian Territories.
Out of seven row houses that lined Fort Smith's Old West red light district, Miss Laura's is the only "house of ill repute" that has stood the test of time, a news release said.
"Defying flood, flame and tornado, it is the first former bordello on the National Register of Historic Places, and it has been fully restored to its original grandeur."
The surviving facade of this turn-of-the-century landmark is only part of the story, and the film will introduce viewers to Laura Zeigler and the girls who made the house famous, the release said.
"Step Into: Miss Laura's" "follows a short journey of a handful of girls inside Miss Laura's bordello. Written from rare pieces of factual information, the film recreates a glimpse into what life may have been like inside the historic bordello," the release said.
"Step Into: Miss Laura's" will also air Thursday, Jan. 24, at 6:30 p.m.
