Thomas House Hotel

Red Boiling Springs, TN

Red Boiling Springs, TN got its name from the red tinted water that used to flow freely there in the early part of the 1900's. Back then, people converged on the town because they thought the water had healing powers. As the word spread, the town became a popular destination and dozens of hotels were built. Today only three remain, and one of them is the Thomas House. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads.
