Most People Don’t Know There’s A Fountain Of Youth Hiding In This Indiana Small Town

Even if you aren't from Indiana, you've likely heard of the small towns of French Lick or West Baden Springs. These adjoining towns are famous for the gorgeous French Lick Resort and West Baden Hotel, which attract guests from all over the globe. But you might not be aware of one of the coolest things to do in French Lick, Indiana: a fountain of youth, so to speak.

The French Lick Resort is home to the famous French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel. These hotels are well known as historic works of art, but there's another huge draw for many: the healing and legendary natural hot springs.

French Lick is a place millions have flocked to in search of its healing mineral spring water, known as Pluto Spring. In fact the water of Pluto Spring was bottled and sold across the country in the 1800s as "Pluto Water."

The water of Pluto Spring is still used today at the French Lick Springs Hotel spa. The waters in this spring are said to supposedly cure any ailment, from disease to old age. While some claim you have to have a sip of the water for its powers to work, others believe a soak in the water also offers benefits.

You can experience the magic for yourself by booking a spa in the Pluto Mineral Bath at this historic hotel.
