Description
Seminole Hot Springs was founded by real estate magnet Lucky Baldwin in the early twentieth century, and was immensely popular through the 1920s and 30s. The resort featured a full-service spa, a Roman-style indoor bath, mineral pools, swimming pool, dance hall, restaurant, and rental cabins. The water came from a natural 116 degree mineral spring below the property. Mineral baths dwindled in popularity through the 1950s and 60s, until the spa finally closed in 1967. A trailer park now occupies the space.
