Chameleon
Springs was a popular spa in Edmonson County, Kentucky. This
broadside advertises a grand ball to be held to open the summer
season of 1902. Visitors, who might stay overnight or for
several months, generally departed from the railroad station
in Smiths Grove (Warren County, Kentucky) and take a one-hour
ride to the spa, a distance which today can be covered in
approximately 15 minutes. Chameleon Springs boasted a large
hotel of typical "spa" design with all the doors
opening to the outside of the building. This particular spa
boasted "a fine bowling alley and every accessory for
pleasure…[and] a beautiful lake for boating and bathing." |
