[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 23753, member: 44"]You know, that Wikipe... link says: "The farm was sold to Jack Bridges, Sr. and his wife in 1945, ... The Bridges added a gift shop,..." I wonder if this was actually bought at the Park's gift shop or bought at the alligator gift shop? >Well the US mint recently started issuing these revisionist history coins calling Hot Springs the first US National Park< That's a hoot! According to a write-up on the park's website, the "park calls itself the 'oldest area in the national park system' because in 1832, 40 years before Yellowstone became the first national park, President Andrew Jackson set aside the hot springs as a special reservation." I bet the revisionists got a hold of this info and spun it into so-called history. Messi, call-up Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton and ask him. Hot Springs was his old stompin' ground. --- Susan[/QUOTE]
