This is a weird national park. Its prime feature is a row of ornate bathhouses where people in the early 20th century went to bathe in water from hot springs that were believed to aid in healing. One of the bathhouses, the Fordyce, is open for tours. We strolled through and looked at all the ornate architecture and equipment designed to make people think they were being healed. (Most of these photos were from a visit I made in 2013 with members of my family. My wife wasn’t there that day, and she wanted to see it.)
Obviously, this photo was taken back when I was still doing the red chair nonsense.
Non-ambulatory patients were laid on the surface and lowered into the water (I think).

Note the cabinets in the background. No thanks.
There’s a promenade behind the bathhouses with open springs.
