Berkeley Springs Baths

History
4
Berkeley Springs Baths is one of the oldest spas in the South, where warm mineral spring waters reputedly used by Native Americans for healing were frequently visited by George Washington. The land was granted to Virginia by Lord Fairfax in 1776, but it had been used as a health resort since the 1750s. Now a state park, it ranks among the nation's oldest resorts, with mineral waters at 74.3°F fed from numerous nearby springs at nearly 1,000 gallons per minute.
