History of Yellowstone Hot Springs

In 1909 a business consortium, including Dr. Frank Corwin built a sanitarium facility and the Corwin Springs Hotel. Next to the hotel they built a large enclosed swimming pool. They transported hot water to the pool through wooden pipes from the LaDuke Hot Springs two miles upstream.These facilities became the hub of Corwin Springs through the early 1900’s, serving both the local miners as well as the travelers headed to Yellowstone National Park. These mineral hot springs also became a famous stopping point for early medical tourism.Sadly however, the hotel burned down in 1916.
