Since February 1, 1912, the Buckstaff Bath House Company has been part of the story of Hot Springs National Park. For more than 114 years, we have had the privilege of welcoming visitors from around the world to experience the natural thermal waters and a bathing tradition unlike any other.
As of November 30, 2026, our family's chapter as operator of the Buckstaff Bathhouse will come to a close. The National Park Service has awarded the next operating concession to a new company, which is expected to assume operations on January 1, 2027.
While this marks the end of an extraordinary chapter for the Buckstaff Bath House Company, we are grateful that the tradition of bathing in the thermal waters of Hot Springs is expected to continue.
To our generations of employees, loyal customers, friends, neighbors, and visitors who have walked through our doors over the years: thank you. You have made this place so much more than a business. You have made it a part of your lives, your families, and your memories.
We are immensely proud of our 114-year history and deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of it.
It has been our honor to serve you. Thank you for being part of our story. ❤️
