The next day we made our way in the morning to Garvan Woodland Gardens. It's run by the University of Arkansas and competes up there with some of the best gardens around. It includes perhaps 20 different specialty themed gardens and the a large portion that has been left undeveloped for now other than paths leading through the native forestry.
Afterwards we headed into downtown Hot Springs to visit the National Park and the famous bath houses that put Hot Springs on the map. We visited one of the original historical bath houses and took a tour. Frankly the bath houses back in the early 30's through 40's we just barbaric in the types of "medical" treatments they gave to people, including spreading mercury all over peoples bodies.
Regardless, the rich kept coming (until they started dying off anyway) and lived in the lap of luxury while at the facilities.
