Park Chats: A New Lease on Life

This program is part of the collaborative series between Garland County Library and Hot Springs National Park, and can be attended in-person or watched via livestream on the Library’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/GarlandCoLibrary or the Garland County Library Facebook page.

Join Hot Springs National Park superintendent Laura Miller as she discusses the revitalization of Bathhouse Row. The bathhouse industry shrank in the mid 20th century, and by the 1990s only one bathhouse was in operation. Park staff and partners looked for solutions to preserve the bathhouses. Now, almost all of the bathhouses have tenants and Hot Springs visitation is breaking annual records. Hear about the preservation process and the next steps at Hot Springs National Park.
