'This handsome structure of gray hand-hewn stone is perched upon the side of Warm Springs Ridge and overlooks the historic Town of Bath which was established by Act of the First General Assembly of the State of Virginia in October, 1776, as a health resort for the officers and soldiers of the Revolution and for other infirm persons. George Washington frequently visited these springs, commended them most highly and erected a summer home there. The Castle Site adjoins the celebrated State Park of the Town of Bath (now known as Berkeley Springs, West Virginia) which encompasses "Ye Famed Warm Springs," officially set aside for the "free use of the public for all time." Within the State Park also there are commodious swimming pools, a bath house erected more than a century ago but containing modern equipment, a new bath house with facilities for Turkish and Electric baths, a reading roomm, rest room, band stand, and a huge American Elm tree planted by George Washington, also numberous other shade trees, with benches and tables for picnic parties. For nearly two centuries of recorded history these 'Famed Warm Springs' have been heralded as a sacred mecca where peace, health, and happiness abound and where, according to Indian tradition, the healing waters are blessed by the Great Spirit. The water from these springs is piped into the Castle which is equipped also with electricity and other modern improvements, yet maintains a medieval atmosphere, with its large entrance hall, broad staircase and huge stone fireplaces. Guests are assured of creature comforts, congenial companionship and commodious quarters, suitable for family parties, sororities, or other responsible groups.'
