What makes it fun
Beginning as a simple bathhouse in the late 19th century, the Hot Wells site was a popular refuge for those seeking to enjoy the therapeutic powers of the hot sulfuric waters flowing from the well and supplying multiple small resorts at the time. The Hot Wells Hotel was added on in 1901 but by 1923 the resorts and spring itself had closed. The site has recently been reborn as a museum, with much of the original architecture preserved, and can be toured for free everyday as part of the Mission Reach Trails experience. The park is also a beautifully fascinating location on its own and offers visitors a glimpse into the history of rest and relaxation at the turn of the previous century.
