 They moved their families to the area, and within two years, an 18-room wooden hotel was completed. And in 1766, ten years before the U.S. officially began, the homestead did open, named to honor the homesteaders who built the resort and the bathhouses. But, fun fact, the gentleman's bathhouse was actually built in 1761. So, indeed, the bathhouses came before the hotel and are really the reason the hotel even is here.
