Hot springs is a United States National park located in
central Garland county Arkansas. Hot springs was originally
established before the concept of a national park even existed. It at
the time was considered a area of recreation. It was established by
the US congress on April 20,1832. Hot springs is the first and oldest
park created by 40 years! The hot spring water has been popularly
believed for centuries to possess medicinal properties, and was a
subject of legend among several Native American tribes. Since Hot
Springs National Park is the oldest park maintained by the National
Park Service, it was rightfully the first to receive its own US quarters
in April 2010 as part of Americas the beautiful coin series.
