Abstract:
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, North Carolina was a popular destination for people seeking rejuvenation and relaxation at the state’s many mineral spring resorts. One of the popular resorts was Vade Mecum Springs in Stokes County, which was known for the healing powers of the local mineral water. Since the resort closed in 1917, the site has been used for various educational, religious or scientific endeavors.
