Paris, Tenn.–Jane Gibson of Springville will be speaking on the history of the former Sulphur Well Resort at this week’s Lunch & Learn at the Paris-Henry County Heritage Center.
Henry County’s first tourist attraction, Sulphur Well was created by accident in 1821, when an artesian well of sulphur water was struck in an attempt to locate a large salt bed on a former Chickasaw reservation. Sulphur Well is now underwater, covered by Kentucky Lake.
