Image
Text on front reads: "Bethesda Spring, Waukesha, Wis." Bethesda Spring is located inside an ornate pavilion surrounded by trees. The Terrace Hotel can be seen on the left and another building on the right. The word "Bethesda," seen on the left, is on the bank of a pond. In the foreground is the Fox River. Between 1868 and 1918, 60 mineral springs were located here. People would travel here to "enjoy the waters."
