History
• The Ute indians who summered in the Yampa Valley area thought the natural mineral springs had healing powers.
• The city’s founder, James Crawford, discovered the (Heart)spring not long after he moved to the area in 1875.
• As the town settled, the spring became a popular bathing spot. The spring was then called the “Bath Spring.”
• The first employee, hired as a caretaker and furnish fresh towels and soap for bathers was hired in 1884.
• In 1887 an A-frame building was constructed as the first bath house.
• Crawford would discover that there were 150 springs in the area, the Bath Spring being one of the hottest at 103 degrees. Another about 6 miles north of town was 154 degrees. This later became known as Strawberry Park Hot Springs.
• In 1909 $50,000 was invested to build a new 84 x 100 square foot bath house of native stone and an outdoor pool
• An indoor pool was built in 1910
• From 1931-1935 local retired businessman, H.W. Gossard, who renovated many of the town’s springs, surrounded the Bath Spring with a rock wall in the shape of a heart and re-named it the Heart Spring (1931). He also named the development around the spring the Rocky Mountain Miriquelle Spa.
• In 1935 Gossard returned control of the hot springs to the Town Company and a non-profit corporation, Steamboat Springs Health & Recreation Association (SSHRA) was established to run the Heart Spring complex as well as Strawberry Park Hot Springs
• In 1968 the indoor pool was removed and the outdoor pool was remodeled. New locker rooms were added.
• SSHRA sold the Strawberry Park Hot Springs to Chicago-based businessman Don Johnson for $195,ooo.
• In 2006 SSHRA adoped the business trade name “Old Town Hot Springs”
• Spring 2007, Old Town Hot Springs broke ground on the present $5 million improvement plan.
