Google/Jared Wuerzburger Thanks to the Midwest Archeological Center, National Park Service, and the Southeast Archeological Center the Bathhouses of Hot Springs National Park can be toured online. Take the online scroll right here. The website needs to be opened in Internet Explorer.
The tour is more than a couple of clicks through Google Maps.
Google Maps The tour pinpoints ten points of interest along Bathhouse Row (the bathhouses of course and the NPS Administration Office). Each portion includes interesting history about the bathhouse and the early settlement of the town. For instance did you know that the Fordyce Bathhouse is the largest one on the row? It had a variety of services beyond a typical spa day including a music room featuring a grand piano!
Some of the tour stops include inside looks of the bathhouses.
