Washington Heritage Trail
Berkeley Springs State Park, WV

These mineral springs have been prized since the time Native Americans first discovered them. Lord Fairfax maintained them as a village green and they soon became known as "Bath Square" and then "The Grove." From his first visit in 1748, George Washington became a regular at the warm springs. In 1815, the Roman Bath House was built and is still in use today. The springs include:

• The south baths where treatments like massage are offered
• Gentleman's Bath House where visitors can sample the clear, tasteless water
• Spring pools where waders can feel the water bubbling up beneath them
• An outdoor swimming pool open in the summer

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the springs are now known as Berkeley Springs.
