About this Spring
Once one of Florida's earliest and most famous tourist attractions, this mineral spring was considered sacred healing water by Native Americans and became a major 19th-century spa resort with 14 hotels, visited by figures like Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Ford, a four-story bathhouse was built around it in 1903, but the spring dried up in 1990 and only concrete/coquina ruins remain today.
