Abstract:
"For centuries, the Madison County town has beckoned visitors to bathe in the soothing, warming waters that bubble up from deep within the mountains." Incorporated in 1889, Hot Springs had long been a resort before its founding. In the 1830s, Washington Patton constructed the first grand hotel in the area, featuring a porch with 13 columns , representing the original 13 colonies. It's successor, the Mountain Park Hotel boasted one of the first golf courses in North Carolina.
