Small views sit inside the letters of HOT SPRINGS against a dark background. The national park designation is part of the design, making the park itself central to the souvenir.

Bathhouse Row took shape along Central Avenue as visitors came to bathe in the thermal waters. The Fordyce Bathhouse opened in 1915 with stained glass, marble interiors, and a gymnasium. It gives a sense of the elaborate resort facilities that grew around the springs.
