In the 1800s, the healing virtues of mineral springs lured settlers and travelers to Western Kentucky. In addition to curing the sick, the springs provided a forum for antebellum America to socialize, as the elegant surroundings became popular destinations for parties and dances.

The traditions revealed by these photographs and postcards constitute a thread in the fabric of American culture and history.
