HIGHLAND SPRINGS – A special gathering this Sunday, May 23, will discuss the fascinating history of the Highland Springs area.

Meet at 2 p.m. in the picnic area in Highland Springs Park.

The father of Dr. Neal Woods, now 96, purchased the Highland Springs property in 1943 and renovated the remains of the Highland Springs Hotel for their family home.

The hotel and resort once was known as “The Great Sanitarium of the West.”

Woods has a wonderful scrapbook of old photos from days gone by, collected over the years. He also has many memories of the locations of the hotel, the pool, the riding stables, the medicinal springs and much more Highland Springs information.

Please come and enjoy and bring your questions.

Dr. Woods is looking forward to this gathering to pass along this information for all to enjoy and make sure that the memories of Highland Springs Resort will not be forgotten.

Poor health or rain will cancel.

Please RSVP and remain in contact Saturday evening and again Sunday morning.
