Berkley Springs, the seat of Morgan County, dates back to 1776 and is known as the nation’s first spa. Originally named after the English city of Bath, Berkeley Springs has grown over the years into a charming arts town drawing visitors from Washington, D.C. and its environs with its eclectic collection of shops, restaurants, and full-service spas. The crown jewel of the town is the Berkeley Springs State Park, which offers spa treatments and Roman- and Victorian-style baths filled with the warm crystal waters of local springs. In the warm-weather months, the town comes alive with concerts, performances, and festivals, while the cooler months bring spectacular color to the foliage and such popular events as the Winter Festival of the Water. If you’re looking to relocate somewhere far from the bright lights of the big city, where you can enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an unparalleled natural beauty, look no further than Berkeley Springs.
