History

Long known as Big Boiling Springs, Chalybeate Springs was a health resort operated before 1850 by the family of Sam Patterson, among the earliest settlers. Twelve log cabins called Long Row were built for guests who came for amusement, pleasure, and the medicinal iron and sulphur water. In 1898, a large hotel was built and it burned in 1962. The spring has been capped for use as a well.
