Hot Springs, Nevada
Hot Springs is a ghost town in Eureka County, Nevada, US.
The water of the town is very rich in minerals and is used to help people with several diseases.[1] An early owner, a doctor, built a large bathhouse at the springs and renamed it White Sulphur Springs.[1] That springs was mainly used by miners from Mineral Hill. When Mineral Hill began to weaken, the business decelerated. The owner of the springs closed up shop in the mid-1870s. From May 1907 the Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad Company and the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad stopped at a station in Hot Springs.[2][3]
There is now nothing left of the old town, but the hot springs remain, and Bailey's Hot Springs RV Park is open on the site as of January 2018.
