Celebrities Used To Flock To This Tiny Texas Town To Experience Its Healing Mineral Waters
One of the most charming small towns in Texas, Mineral Wells, has a truly fascinating history. As its name suggests, the town was once home to wells whose water was said to possess incredible healing properties. People – including big-name celebrities like Judy Garland – arrived in droves to experience the magic for themselves. The town even capitalized on the phenomenon and marketed the water under the brand name “Crazy Water,” which is now sold in stores nationwide.
This small town is located just west of the bustling Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, yet it’s hardly a blip on the map - but it hasn’t always been that way.
These claims transformed the city into a popular tourist destination in the early 20th century, and bathhouses, fancy resorts, and spas began opening up around every corner.
The hotel was one of the grandest resorts in the nation, attracting such Hollywood icons as Clark Gable and Judy Garland, who took advantage of all the Baker had to offer.
When it reopens, it will once again reign as a world-class resort that will make headlines.
Have a cup of Crazy Water - the brand that was born out of the town’s claim to fame - at the Famous Mineral Water Company, which was founded in 1904.
