Kimberling Springs hotel fades from regional memory
In Kimberling Springs Virginia the once famed three story hotel built around 1854 by Edwin S Booth has faded into a seasonal relic. A wagon road and CCC era path survive near the South Fork Kimberling Creek as wilderness reclaims the site. Local guide Wayne Richardson recalls the era when visitors from Philadelphia and Washington flocked to the health resort each summer.
