erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life. In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs. The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß T h e VA L L EY R e v Ue

he Martinsburg-Berkeley Convention and Visitors Bureau would like to extend a warm welcome to you to come see us at our new location at 126 East Race Street in downtown Martinsburg. We are located in the historic Belle Boyd House and Museum owned by the Berkeley County Historic Society. One of the challenges facing small museums is funding and staffing and the move by the CVB into the Belle Boyd House is a win for both organizations. The museum will now be 30 JA NUA RY 2014
open 7 days a week, including many holidays when visitors are in the area. It is perfectly located so that people can visit the For the Kids, by George museum that will soon be open on Saturdays and is across the railroad tracks from the Roundhouse. While you cannot go in the Roundhouse at this time, the story can be told of the burning of the buildings, the destruction of the train cars, and even the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.
