Bath County Virginia History 

 

Bath County was founded in 1745 by pioneers of mostly Scotch-Irish descent; many were educated, Presbyterian men from Ulster, Ireland.
The "father" of Bath County was John Lewis, who first settled with his wife, Margaret Lynn, northwest of Staunton, Virginia, in 1732 at Fort Lewis.
By 1740 he had purchased land on the Cowpasture River which he gave by deed to his only American born child, Charles, who settled at Fort Lewis in 1761 with his new bride, Sarah Murray.
Charles later died at the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774.
Another son of John Lewis, Andrew, along with Thomas Bullitt, obtained a patent for the Hot Springs tract of 300 acres.
They built the first hotel on the site of the present Homestead Resort in 1766.

The county is rich in history and there are many period homes and buildings still standing from its early years.
A few of the historic properties of Bath are the Sitlington Plantation located on Route 42 South; Fort Lewis Farm; Cameron Law Office at Fassifern Farm on the Jackson River; the Anderson Cottage in Warm Springs; Warwickton at Hidden Valley (film location for the movie "Sommersby"); Gatewood House (Cash House) in Mountain Grove; Folly Farm on Route 603; the Mustoe House located on Route 220 South; Jefferson Pools (formerly Warm Springs pools); Warm Springs Inn (former Bath County Courthouse and Jail); the Windy Cove Presbyterian Church, Millboro Springs; and numerous structures at The Homestead Resort.
Many of these historic locations are open to visitors while some are now private residences.
Bath County is recognized as a major outdoor recreational and resort destination in the scenic Allegheny Mountains of Virginia.
Rich with lush forests, rushing crystal rivers, hot and warm springs, and beautiful mountain scenery, it is home to fabulous hotels, rustic lodges, and quaint bed and breakfasts.
With the changing seasons come opportunities for a wide variety of activities such as hunting, fishing, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, birding, canoeing, kayaking, spelunking, bicycling, skiing, and skating

By 1848 there were enough visitors to Hot Springs that the owner there, a physician and entrepreneur named Thomas Goode, was compelled to build a large hotel that he named the Homestead.

In 1890 the property was purchased by the Southern Improvement Company, which set out to develop it into a world-class resort.

The grounds were expanded more than four-fold, and a massive construction project was initiated.

By 1893, the main, wooden hotel had been greatly enlarged, as shown here in a view from the east.

Elzner and Anderson of Cincinnati had transformed the 1848 building into a quadrangular structure and extended it with an even longer 4 1/2 -story northwest wing that reached towards a new bathhouse.

On both the north and east facades, the building was given a double-story rounded Ionic portico.

In 1901 a fire that originated in the hotel's bake shop leveled this building, including the new wing.

The present Georgian style Homestead Hotel occupies the site.
