Berkeley Springs Attractions
Berkeley Springs, in the extreme north-eastern tip of the state, is the oldest spa in the United States. George Washington established its reputation by his frequent visits to the springs. Today quite a lot still goes on here centered on the spa, though of a quiet sort.
Noted for its healing waters that have attracted people from a wide area, Berkeley Springs State Park makes a great destination. Historical plaques detail the history of the springs and make for interesting reading.
