Question: What is considered Florida’s original tourist attraction?

Answer: The White Sulfur Springs Ruins

The White Sulfur Springs Ruins was a former bathhouse in the town of White Springs, located in Hamilton County on the Suwannee River. The spring was regarded as a sacred healing site by the Native Americans and was respected as neutral territory even during times of conflict. Any tribe member could safely drink from or bathe in the mineral-rich waters without fear of attack.
