At the turn of the 20th century, the location of the springs, which contained iron salts known as
chalybeate, long thought to be health-restoring, was a popular
resort.[2][3] All that remained of the resort by 2010 was an old
spring house for the resort, which was initially closed during the
Second World War. A Kentucky Historical Marker with information about that resort was placed at the junction of
KY 101 and
KY 3611 on June 11, 2016.[4][5]
