Hot Springs, Arkansas

“This town started because of the “healing” hot springs that come up out of the mountain. Indians and Civil War veterans found them beneficial for healing. (The secret is that low levels of radon are present in the water which is good for the body.) They are now capped springs, except for a couple of display springs. Visitors can take a bath in the mineral waters at the Buckstaff Bathhouse on the historic Bathhouse Row.”

Did you know that “since the 1830s, the area now known as Hot Springs National Park has bathed notables as diverse as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Babe Ruth, and Al Capone. The park is entirely surrounded by the city of Hot Springs, the boyhood home of President Bill Clinton.”
Must tell my daughter about the Al Capone connection. She loves stuff like this!
