About Welch Spring Hospital Ruins
In 1913, Dr. C.H. Diehl bought Welch Springs on the Current River for eight hundred dollars. He believed the water had healing effects and that the pollen-free air from the connecting cave could aid people who were suffering from asthma, emphysema and tuberculosis. The doctor passed away in 1940 leaving the hospital to his family. They did not have any interest in keeping up with it, so it eventually turned into abandoned ruins. The ruins are fairly easy to find along the Welch Spring Trail. (Jadwin, Missouri)
