George Washington visited Berkeley Springs in 1748, before West Virginia became a state. Today, Berkeley Springs State Park is the only state-run spa in the country.
The town, officially named Bath in 1776, is famous for its warm springs. Visitors can fill bottles with spring water, wade in the shallow springs, or swim in the public pool filled with spring water, weather permitting.
The historic Old Roman Bath House offers a unique experience, featuring nine individual walk-in tubs for private soaking sessions.
George Washington knew Berkeley Springs was a must-stop spot before West Virginia even became a state.
