A stone-arched spring opening sits in a wooded hillside at the Cave Hot Spring, while the grand entrance to the U.S. Reservation at Hot Springs shows a gateway with flanking towers, a central arch, and a pavilion above. Hot Springs Reservation, set aside by Congress in 1832, was the first federally protected reservation in the United States and later became Hot Springs National Park. Visitors came to the thermal springs for the waters' reputed health benefits.
