  • Summary

  • On March 11, 1889, Joseph Daniel Bell and his crew drilled into a rock formation in South Waco and sent a geyser of hot water spewing into the clear, blue Central Texas sky. (geyser) This gusher helped turn Waco, Texas, into a popular tourist destination for the next 20 years. You see, a “hydrotherapy” craze was sweeping the nation. It was believed that hot water from deep underground carried minerals that could miraculously cure all manner of ills. Ardent adherents claimed it could cure anything, from upset stomach to heart disease, to mental illness. From the mind of Ashley Bean Thornton and the actors of Wild Imaginings comes Fantastical History of Waco! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
