The Oregon Trail used to go right by it and pioneers stopped for some much needed bathing. In the 1900s, it became a town under one roof, the original shopping mall, complete with hotel and hospital. Its busiest time was in the 1920s when it was a health spa. After part of it burned in the 1930s, it began to go downhill. The new owners, who are trying to restore it, gave them a tour and lunch. Part of it is a museum and a bed and breakfast will open soon. They have a bronze foundry where the owner makes sculptures. He is the official sculptor for the John Wayne estate.
