Womens's Bath.
Holds 60,000 gallons of Natural Warm Spring water. Believed to have had medicinal and healing qualities.
Mrs. Robert E. Lee also took the waters here, albeit more modestly attired. And, other than the clothing-optional policy, not much has changed at the Warm Springs Pools since the women's bathhouse was built in 1836 except for the name, which owner Club Resorts (which also owns the nearby Homestead resort) changed to the Jefferson Pools in 1996.
