Digging Deep for More Pieces of West Baden History

The more we dig below the surface, the more relics we bump into.
First we came across this last month from the old Mile Lick Inn property, which dates back to 1855 and is the precursor to what is now West Baden Springs Hotel.
Just this morning, we unearthed another piece of our history. A fairly immense piece, in fact.

It’s the original headstone from the Apollo Spring in the West Baden gardens. For now, it’s missing the last “O” in Apollo. We expect it’ll turn up with a little more digging during this construction project, as we’re renovating the area surrounding the hotel’s old Billiards and Bowling Pavilion which will soon become a reception hall.

But the rest of Apollo’s 6-foot long, 2-foot thick limestone slab is still remarkably intact, considering this mineral water spring was probably last used about 75 years ago before the hotel closed to guests during the Great Depression.

Back when the springs were functional in the early 1900s, guests walked beneath the Apollo headstone …

Foodie Friday: Sunset Dinners at The Pete Dye Course

Most everywhere you visit at French Lick Resort features some type of unique view, whether you're dining at Ballard's in the Atrium, overlooking The Donald Ross Course at Hagen's Club House Restaurant or enjoying breakfast or brunch in the historic chandelier-crowned Grand Colonnade Restaurant. Today we're traveling atop Mt. Airie for a spectacularly different view where The Pete Dye Course at French Lick is located for a one-of-a-kind Sunset Dinner in The Mansion at Pete Dye. The clubhouse is the mansion home built by former Indianapolis Mayor Thomas Taggart for his son Thomas D. Taggart and his family. The Taggarts owned French Lick Springs Hotel from 1901-1946.
Beginning April 29, The Mansion at Pete Dye will be open for dinner every Sunday evening through October. Kick back, unwind and enjoy an incredible view of an impeccable golf course with dinner.
The Sunset Dinner menu offers two options for the appetizer and entree course with chef's choice crème brûlée…

25 Things To Do This Fall In And Around French Lick Resort

One second, it’s summer. Snap your fingers, and it’s winter.

Doesn’t it seem like that’s how fall goes every year?

Between summer weather lasting longer and the department stores pushing out Christmas decorations after Labor Day, it seems like we’ve got a precious small window for fall’s glory. This year, make the most of autumn while you’ve got the chance. Whether you have a visit already planned to French Lick Resort in the next few months or live close enough to drive in for a quick night or weekend visit, check off a few of these boxes on our list of 25 Things To Do in and around the resort this fall.
Hayrides, S’mores and Pumpkin Patch: The perfect experience for families with younger children, we’ve combined three iconic activities of fall together into one action-packed circuit. Offered every Thursday and Saturday in October.
Mixology Class: They’re back: Our first round of Mixology Classes earlier this year were a hit, so we’re bringing them back. Your next chance is November 1…
