The History of Schooley's Mountain as a Resort

If you live on Schooley's Mountain you probably
know that the area abounds with springs, but only history buffs and a few long-time residents may be aware that for approximately 50 years beginning in the late 19th century, wealthy socialites like the Vanderbilts traveled to
Schooley's Mountain to "take the waters" to detoxify their systems and improve their overall health. Eileen Stokes, local historian, will lecture on this topic.
