Warm Springs Pools

Warm Springs Pools is a bathing facility in Virginia housed in two historic buildings with mineral-enriched water. One structure has eight sides while the other has twenty-two sides, and both maintain a consistent warm temperature throughout the year.

The octagonal building was constructed in 1761 and stands as the oldest spa structure in the United States. The wooden structures were added in the 1820s to complete both facilities.

These pools have drawn people seeking healing through mineral water for generations. The site represents a lasting tradition of valuing natural springs as places for restoration and care.

The facility offers various bathing sessions throughout the day for different needs and preferences. Plan time to acclimate to the warm water and explore both historic buildings at a leisurely pace.

The springs continuously feed fresh mineral water into the pools, naturally maintaining the ideal bathing temperature without artificial heating. This constant flow ensures the water remains rich in minerals throughout the day.
