RG134-06-03Description
Chick Springs, a mineral spring resort near Greenville, South Carolina, flourished from 1840 to the early 20th century. Developed by Dr. Burwell Chick, it became a popular destination for health and leisure, hosting affluent guests from across the South. The resort evolved with changing ownership, rail access, and amenities, but declined after the Civil War. Revived briefly in the early 1900s with hotels, a clinic, and even an amusement park, it ultimately faded due to war, fire, and economic shifts. By 1941, only a few acres remained, though the spring itself continues to flow, preserving its legacy.Collection
