Berkeley Springs is located in West Virginia, and before European settlement was used by the native people of St. Lawrence Seaway, Canada. Later, settlers took to the springs because of its warm, healing properties as early as 1730.
Hot springs
Crockett Warm Springs
This month we are back to Virginia to visit Crockett Springs Cottage in Montgomery County! The Crockett Warm Springs was part of the larger Lithia Springs Company and was also known as the Virginia Arsenic Bromide Company.
Arrowhead Hot Springs Company
This month we are visiting the Arrowhead Hot Springs Company in San Bernardino, California. The mountain region known for its formations of light quartz was popular with Native Americans long before European settlement. There are multiple native legends for the landmark, one being that a flaming arrow led Native American Indians to the valley; hence, the arrow formation in stone pointing to the hot spring waters underneath.
