The Natural Bridge is nearby. Near here, also, was the Natural Bridge Hotel, acquired by the Southern Spiritualists’ Association in 1885. Daily meetings, including lectures and private séances, were first held in the hotel, later an octagonal pavilion, capacity about 500. The most renowned mediums in the country participate. The project was abandoned about 1890.
