So much history!
















The French Lick Resort was built in 1902. It is so beautiful, I was trying to take pictures of everything I could, but it looked so much better in person. It was closed during the Depression. A couple of years ago it was closed for renovation. The picture of the kids walking through the stone wall was actually a walkway that was dug out through the crawl space. It was amazing how they were able to do this. We were imagining how many people had stayed in the room where we stayed. Just thinking of how many people had passed through this place over the years is amazing. There are two hotels on this property, and the other one is a dome which was just incredible! It was the named the world's largest dome. Here is the website for tons of history.http://www.frenchlick.com/about_us/history2.asp#WestBaden
