Visitors from around the world flocked to Hot Springs National Park’s historic Bathhouse Row in the 1800s and early 1900s to bathe in the healing thermal waters, thought to have healing powers.

Cool mineral water also flows from the local springs and many people stop on Bathhouse Row to fill up water jugs at the public fountain.
