Healing Springs
Historical records and legends date the springs back to when Indians considered the waters sacred and bathed in them for healing when sick and hurt. During the American Revolution, tradition states four mortally wounded soldiers were left in the care of two able-bodied men. To the amazement of all the springs’ natural healing powers restored the wounded soldiers to health. Artesian wells supply legendary mineral waters to pilgrims seeking help for all kinds of ailments. Locals still believe in the springs’ powers and drink and bathe in the waters. In 1944, the acre of land the springs are on was legally deeded to God by L.P. “Lute” Boylston.
