History
Vichy Springs Resort is celebrating its 155th year of continuous operation as North America's only Vichy Springs and California's only warm carbonated springs. Opened to the public as a resort in 1854 there are remaining three of the original 1854 cottages and several 1860's buildings. Ferries and stagecoaches brought the rich and famous to Vichy Springs. Eventually a train made its way which shortened the trip from three days to one. Mark Twain, Jack London, boxer Jim Corbett (had a training camp at Vichy Springs), Ulysses Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert Louis Stevenson, and lately Bo Derek, John Corbett, James Coburn, Franz Weber, Dustin Hoffman, Sandi Koufax, Larry Hagman and thousands others have enjoyed the bubbly baths, massage therapy & facials, 700 acres of private walking trails.
