Indian folklore dating from early 1800's and earlier, relate many interesting facts of early Sycamore Springs history. Many Indian Tribes were known to use the mineral water for healing purposes. Early Indians used airtight wigwarms and mineral water poured over hot rocks for sweat baths. By the early 1800's many settlers were moving westward and one of their important water stops was Sycamore Spr

ings. John Brown and James Lane, early Kansas Free Staters, spent time in the area. The Springs known then as Plymouth Springs was one of several towns organized by Lane. By 1880, the mineral water and beautiful picnic areas were becoming well known and a large 60-room wood framed hotel building was built. Sycamore Springs, by 1886, had become widely known as an outstanding health resort of the Midwest. A five story stone hotel was also built which contained all the latest conveniences and modern hospital facilities. Both buildings were destroyed by fire in 1916. The present hotel was rebuilt in the early 1920's. Besides the hotel and hospital facilities, Sycamore Springs once had a post office, general store, barber shot and pop bottling plant.
