Episode: Summer excursions: North Carolina's fountain of youth
Description: At one time it drew people from all over the state, people hoping that the mineral spring nestled quietly on a farm in North Carolina would have healing properties that could make them well. The town that we know of today as Fuquay-Varina grew up around the mystical healing waters. The spring now sits in the middle of a public park where you can take in its beauty and its history. WRAL Hidden History reporter Heather Leah fills us in on what’s behind the legend of this ethereal body of water.
