An exclusive spa stood here from 1820-1853 before being sold to the U.S. Government as the Western Military Asylum for aged veterans. After the main building burned, the veterans were moved in 1859 to Washington, D.C. The ballroom and cottages were opened on Oct. 8, 1862 to care for thousands of CSA and USA wounded from the Battle of Perryville. The last of the buildings had burned by 1885.
