Berkeley Springs
Historic town · Downtown Berkeley Springs · West Virginia
A spa town since George Washington's day, built around the same warm mineral springs that still fill the public bathhouse downtown. Its small grid of streets holds more restaurants and breweries than a town this size should, and it works as a home base for the Cacapon foliage drive nearby.
