George Washington Bathtub Celebration

This weekend is devoted to celebrating Berkeley Springs’ absolutely exclusive attraction — George Washington’s bathtub! And the town goes all out making sure George’s face still means something. Both the bathtub and the celebration are firmly rooted in historic truth. On March 18, 1748, George Washington first visited “ye fam’d warm springs.” Several times over succeeding decades he returned to bathe, claiming the waters would make a cure for him. The actual tub? Well, like the unfounded report of a secret meeting between George Washington and St. Patrick…it may have a bit of spin about it.

Here are all the activities that George Washington would be happy to attend in his honor.

The Museum will be open Sat and Sun 10am to 2pm

Mineral Springs Trading Company: For every ten dollars of your purchase total, you’ll save a Washington!  Yep, spend $10, get $1 back!

Country Inn is serving Washington’s Peanut Butter Soup and Corned beef and cabbage.

Soak In the History of Berkeley Springs and celebrate George Washington’s weekend by staying with Berkeley Springs Cottage Rentals in a historic downtown property where you can walk to the warm springs and museum that tells the history of the Town of Bath or stay in one of our Coolfont Mountainside properties and enjoy the scenery of George Washington’s favorite horseback riding grounds!
