This was the first stop on our quick visit to Hot Springs and Bathhouse Row during a roadtrip from…read moreChicago to Houston. So interesting to hear from Bill about not only about the history of this and other bathhouses, but also how the thermal springs water is collected, what caused the decline in the 70s and 80s and the measures in place designed to prevent the spread of illnesses, like frequent testing of the water for viruses and bacteria. Very interesting to hear about the fears and impact of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s on Hot Springs as a contrast to the current pandemic. The current Lamar Bathhouse is a stone, brick and stucco Spanish style structure. It replaced an earlier Victorian building that honored US Supreme Court Justice Lamar. The bathhouse was unique in that it offered 5 different tub lengths to accomodate a variety of heights. Several of the original tubs are on display (or can be used for a photo op). Murals and stencils were added in the 20s to elicit a more European flavor. Today, Lamar Bathhouse functions as an admininstative building and has the park store, Bathhouse Row Emporium. Ask for Roxana for fun gift ideas. Make sure to stamp your Park Passport here and at Fordyce Bathhouse if you collect stamps. They are different at each site.

They had a wide selection of things, like clothes, accessories, and a ton of pagan things.

I really enjoyed looking around and probably would have spent more time there if the customer service had been better. Unfortunately, the blonde employee working was pretty rude and came across as uninterested in helping. The whole interaction left a bad impression and definitely didn't match the positive, welcoming vibe I expected from a store like this. I highly suggest this store, if you don't like customer service.
