SWEET SPRINGS RESORT
Sweet Springs Resort is located just a few miles northeast of the property and founded in 1792. Once known as Old Sweet Springs, this historic resort hotel is currently undergoing renovation by the nonprofit Sweet Springs Resort Park Foundation. The property enjoys notoriety for its natural hot spring.
The area is well known for the healing waters of the numerous Sulphur Springs. During the 1800s and early 1900s, several Sulphur Springs Resorts flourished in the area. Most notably and still in existence are White Sulphur Springs, Warm Springs and, Hot Springs. Others included, Salt Sulphur Springs, Blue Sulphur Springs, Red Sulphur Springs, Green Sulphur Springs, Pence Springs and, Sweet Chalybeate Springs.
During the height of wealthy families summer treks to the Virginia springs resortsfrom roughly 1800 until the Civil Warone popular circuit encompassed the fountains most strongly impregnated with minerals, heat, fashion, and fame, according to one chronicler. For those arriving from eastern Virginia and points northeast, the circuit started at Warm Springs northeast of Lewisburg, in the Allegheny Mountains. From there, it ran south and west to the Hot, the White Sulphur, the Sweet, the Salt Sulphur, and the Red Sulphur, then back in the opposite direction.
The waters of Sweet Springs were asserted to assist aged persons, free from organic disease, would find youth and vigor and elasticity at the bottom of this noble fountain, and with a daily plunge could live to the fabled age of the crow. It was cautiously recommended the Sweet Springs be used for certain cases of uterine functions, dyspepsia, and nephritic affections.

BLUESTONE LAKE
Amidst the beautiful scenery of southern West Virginia lies the long Bluestone Lake. This reservoir, the third largest lake in West Virginia, is popular for its fishing and other recreational activities. Bluestone Lake was formed by a concrete dam built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across the New River to reduce flooding. Although the dam was started in 1941, its construction was delayed because of World War II, and it was not fully completed until 1952. The lake is nearly eleven miles long, with an area of 2,040 acres during summer pool, though the water level does change frequently. The Lake can grow to over thirty-six miles long at the flood control pool. At higher levels, the lake extends into Giles County, Virginia. The Lakes Catchment Area is 4,565 square miles. Water levels are drawn down four feet in winter to make room for melting snow and spring rain.
Bluestone Lake, Greenbrier River, and the New River are great places for fishing, and it is said that the New River is the best warm-water fishery in the state. Some of the fish available in the lake and river are bluegill, catfish, crappie, muskellunge, and various types of bass. New River bass has set some West Virginia state records.
In addition to fishing, Bluestone Lake is fantastic for enjoying all sorts of water activities, including boating, canoeing, water skiing, and wakeboarding. The lake has several boat ramps and a commercial marina for the boaters convenience, and there are no limits to the size of boats or motors on the lake.
Bluestone Lake is part of the Bluestone Wildlife Management Area, which covers an area of 18,019 acres. The Wildlife Management Area is known for having some of the best hunting in the area, and hunters and trappers can catch a variety of game, including whitetail deer, turkey, fox, and other animals.
A great place to enjoy the lake is Bluestone State Park. The Park has ample accommodation for those who want to stay overnight.

*Showings available after first of March* Greenbrier River camp with screened porch, large deck, 180 panoramic river view. 2-Bedroom, 3-Bath, open-plan kitchen/dining area, spacious yard w/outbuilding. Enjoy full-time riverfront living or weekend getaways in this beautifully maintained camp. Constructed in 1940 and updated and enlarged in 2000, the home's features include a large living room opening to a deck with sweeping vistas, a modern kitchen with an eat-at island, a den/office, a primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet, and storage space for kayaks, fishing gear, bikes and river toys.
Located in Alderson's Glen Ray neighborhood, the home is nestled in a small, quiet community of a half-dozen well-kept river camps. It faces the river, with access via its rear driveway and parking in its 2-vehicle carport. Elevated to take advantage of the idyllic scenery, the main level includes a living room, a combined kitchen/dining room, a home office/study, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an enclosed mud room/laundry room, and a screened porch and open deck with expansive river views. In addition to plentiful basement storage, the heated lower level incorporates a third bathroom with a shower, handy for washing off after coming in from river activities.
The open plan kitchen features birch cabinetry, attractive laminate countertops with a double stainless-steel sink, and a matching island with seating for 2-3. Appliances include a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator, an Amana range with a glass cooktop, a wall-mounted GE microwave, and a Frigidaire dishwasher. The kitchen also includes what at first glance appears to be a woodstove, actually a propane stove that adds warmth and atmosphere. The adjacent rear porch doubles as a mud room/laundry room, with a Maytag washer and dryer.
The den has a built-in desk and shelves, and the same original hardwood flooring as the kitchen. Just beyond the study lies a feature guaranteed to be popular with residents and visitors alike: a riverfront screened porch, cooled by two ceiling fans. A classic, picture-perfect porch swing conveys with the property.
The spacious living room, as well as the primary bedroom suite, are in the home's newer addition, which has attractive hardwood flooring similar to the flooring in the original portion and recessed ceiling lights. French doors open from the living room to the recently refinished deck. This elevated deck offers an even more impressive bird's eye view of the river than the screened porch.
The primary bedroom suite incorporates a cherry vanity, sink and cabinet in the bedroom, an exceptionally roomy walk-in closet, and a bath with a shower-tub and tiled floor. The home's second bedroom and bath are off the hallway that leads from the original part of the structure to the newer part. This bedroom features a separate dressing area and two closets with shelving. The hallway bath has tile flooring, a shower and a linen closet.
The home enjoys pull-down access to a surprisingly large attic, with plenty of storage space.
The yard is level and lends itself well to gardening. It includes a handy storage shed for lawn and garden equipment.
While the neighborhood's handful of homes are generally used as vacation camps, this attractive, well-kept, comfortable home is suitable for year-round living if desired. In addition to the heat pump that provides whole-house heating and air conditioning, most rooms feature one or more ceiling fans. The bridge spanning the river, connecting Alderson's Greenbrier and Monroe County sides, is nearby, and shopping, services and entertainment in Lewisburg, Ronceverte and Fairlea are only 20 minutes away.

Old Turkey Creek Farmstead The 54.26+/- acre Old Turkey Creek Farmstead is a multi-use farming and recreational property with residential possibilities located in the heart of Monroe County just south of the county seat in Union.
Established several generations ago, this property has been used to raise cattle, sheep and various crops over the years. A prominent feature of the farm, Turkey Creek runs through the middle of the property for about 1800 feet, or a third of a mile. A broad stream generally 20 feet in width, Turkey Creek has provided water for livestock over the years and sustains other aquatic life with opportunities for fishing. In recent years the farm has primarily been used for cattle and has fencing and cross fencing to support operations. The old home has been in disuse for nearly a decade but could either be brought back to life or repurposed for a new project. The red metal roof seems to be in good condition and has helped keep the home stable over the years. A number of structures aid in the farming operations including a barn and sheds. The old corn crib stands near the home as a testament to days gone by.
The nearby historic town of Union has restaurants, a public pool, shopping, services, a summer Farmers Day, an annual Autumn festival, and a Christmas parade. Union is also close to Moncove Lake State State Park which offers a variety of outdoor recreation. Close by, Lewisburg, voted the Coolest Small Town in America, offers an almost endless variety of events including the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival, Taste of our Town, the WV State Fair, and the Lewisburg Literary Festival to name just a few. Lewisburg is also the home to several fine dining restaurants, fun local eateries, a variety of shopping in the walking downtown, and easy access to outdoor retreats such as the Greenbrier River Trail.

HISTORY OF "THE SALT"
"If order, abundant and well prepared fare, excellent bedding, quiet and obliging domestics, impartial and gentlemanly efforts to promote health and comfort, have any influence upon public favor, the proprietors of the Salt Sulphur will certainly secure it". - William Burke
The history of The Salt Sulphur Springs Resort may most firmly be established in 1802, when a spring on Indian Creek was noted to possess medicinal qualities. In 1805, a second spring was discovered. These became the resorts Sweet Sulphur Spring and Salt Sulphur Spring. As a result of the demand for medicinal spring waters among wealthy Southerners, the springs soon attracted visitors.
In 1816, Ervin Benson, who had purchased 500 acres at the site in 1797, hired John Fullen, Sr., of Lexington, Va., to build the first stone building, the present-day Old Stone Hotel. The bathhouse, springhouse, and store building were soon added to meet the demand of an increasing clientele. Benson died before their construction in 1820, when his heirs, brothers-in-law William Erskine and Isaac Caruthers, assumed control of the springs.
In 1823, Erskine and Caruthers promoted the resort with an article in a Richmond, Va., newspaper: "Thanking them for their already liberal patronage, they are happy to inform them that they have erected twenty-four new cabins, large and commodious, together with a special dining and ball room, which will add greatly to the comfort and convenience of their company".
In 1833, a guest from Massachusetts described the resort as similar and yet more peaceful than the nearby White Sulphur Spring, the present site of The Greenbrier: "The house is admirably kept here, and the food is plentiful fare, and the quiet and comfort are a striking contrast to the White Sulphur".
In 1838, construction commenced on what would become the largest building on the property, the Erskine House. It contained 72 guest rooms and quarters for the many slaves who accompanied patrons.
By the outbreak of the Civil War, the springs had become one of the chief resorts on a circuit that included nearby Red Sulphur Springs, Blue Sulphur Springs, White Sulphur Springs, and Old Sweet Springs. Wealthy patrons, most notably from lowland Virginia and the Carolinas, would travel from spring to spring throughout the summer to escape the oppressive heat.
In 1862, General Albert Jenkins commandeered the springs as headquarters for the Eighth Virginia Calvary of the Confederate States Army. Caruthers had died in 1853, and Erskine died in 1863, and little is known of its operation as a resort during that period.
In 1878, after several unsuccessful attempts to restore operations, John Connell of Richmond purchased the property and, by 1880, was able to accommodate 300 guests.
In 1882, Colonel J.W.M. Appleton, of Boston, Mass., was hired as resort manager and brought a spirit of what may be termed a"Yankee initiative" to the operation. He established a telegraph and a stage line to a station on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and activity recovered until 1916 when Appleton was gored by a bull near the Salt Sulphur Springs store.
Following Appletons death, operations at the springs became sporadic. The demand for spas had waned, and in 1936, its existence as a resort ended. In 1963, Dr. Ward Wylie, who had operated the Wyoming General Hospital in Mullens, purchased the property as a home. Wylie died in 1970, and from then until 2023, his daughter, Betty Jacqueline "Betty Jack" Farmer, lived on the property.
"THE SALT" HOTEL
Built between 1816 and 1820, this two-story edifice of native limestone is the most prominent building on the property. This grand structure is reminiscent of the era of Southern mansions and resorts of the antebellum.
The Salt Resort Hotel has, in recent years, been used as a private residence for the Farmer Family. The downstairs today includes a large modern household kitchen that blends in with the parlor, which includes the original fireplace and mantle. A staircase is located on both ends of the hotel to access the upstairs bedrooms and the presidential suite. The grand ballroom fills the majority of the downstairs. The grand ballroom features a tall ceiling height, and the Musicians Gallery box is situated in the far right corner of the room. Access to the Musicians Gallery is from the southern staircase of the building. Also at the south end of the hotel are the grand entrance foyer and staircase. A half bath is located beneath the stairs. On the east end of the building, a smaller wing may predate the main hotel building. A two-story portico with seven columns may have been built during the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
The second floor includes the Salt Library on the left side of the hallway, a bathroom suite, and hotel rooms A and B. The right side of the hall includes the presidential suite and bath, as well as hotel rooms C and D.
The hotels basement level has not been utilized or repaired for many years. The original registration counter has been relocated to the basement.
The Salt Sulphur Springs Hotel is awaiting the new loving owner to restore this trophy property to its full splendor of the bygone days of the 1800s. Although much work stands to be done, the Salt can be a functioning residence and special event business for the owner and innkeeper while repairs and upgrades are completed in modules.
Because the property is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, tax credits and grants for restoration are likely to be available.

INDIAN CREEK
Indian Creek takes its name from a Native American trail that crossed the Appalachians from the Ohio River valley to the Great Valley of Virginia. "It was the interstate of the Indian world."
Indian Creek is a tributary of the New River. It is one of Monroe County's main drainage basins. Indian Creek begins its journey near Salt Sulphur Springs and drains tens of thousands of acres on its winding 30-mile-long trip through pastoral farms, steep mountain canyons, wide bottomland forests, wetlands, and marshes before ending its trip close to Crumps Bottom, where it enters New River. From there, the New River flows to the Kanawha, onto the Ohio, then the Mississippi, and terminating in the Gulf of Mexico. It is said that the waters of Indian Creek will arrive in the Gulf of Mexico 3 to 4 days after entering the New River.
SALT SULPHUR SPRINGS
Salt Sulphur Spring near Union is a popular wedding venue and is the scene of select community events.
The area is well known for the healing waters of the numerous "Sulphur Springs." During the 1800s and early 1900s, several "Sulphur Springs Resorts" flourished in the area. White Sulphur Springs, Warm Springs, and Hot Springs are most notably and still in existence. Others included Sweet Springs, Blue Sulphur Springs, Red Sulphur Springs, Green Sulphur Springs, Pence Springs, and Sweet Chalybeate Springs.
During the height of wealthy families' summer treks to the Virginia Springs resorts from roughly 1800 until the Civil War one popular circuit encompassed "the fountains most strongly impregnated with minerals, heat, fashion, and fame," according to one chronicler. For those arriving from eastern Virginia and points northeast, the circuit started at Warm Springs northeast of Lewisburg in the Allegheny Mountains. From there, it ran south and west to the Hot, the White Sulphur, the Sweet, the Salt Sulphur, and the Red Sulphur, then back in the opposite direction.
The "Old Salt" was famed for its three springs: sweet, salt sulphur, and iodine, curative especially for "chronic diseases of the brain" such as headaches.
The main hotel building dates to about 1820. Salt Sulphur Springs Historic District holds one of the largest groupings of pre-Civil War native stone buildings in West Virginia.
