Hot Springs, Arkansas, nestled in the Ouachita Mountains, boasts a captivating history intertwined with its natural thermal springs. Revered for their healing properties, the springs drew European settlers in the 19th century, transforming the area into a bustling resort town. The late 19th and early 20th centuries marked its peak, with Hot Springs earning the moniker American Spa.
