• Bibb County's Forgotten Tourist Attraction (bibbvoice.com) — A once-bustling mineral springs resort just northeast of Centreville was once home to Bibb County's first swimming pool, a hotel, dance hall, and even bottled "healing" water. This history piece traces Gary Springs' rise as a regional health and social destination, its ties to Centreville churches and fox hunters, and how the resort quietly disappeared by the mid-20th century.
