Sweet Springs Sanitarium, located in eastern Monroe County, West Virginia, has a rich history dating back to the 1700s as a mineral spring resort known as Old Sweet Springs. Established by Revolutionary War veteran William Lewis, the resort attracted significant visitors throughout its operational years, including prominent figures such as George Washington and Robert E. Lee.
While its popularity peaked before the Civil War, the venue transformed through various uses, including a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients and later a home for the aged. After facing several ownership changes and periods of decline, the property remains a historical site, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970.
