French Lick Live Cam

Once considered the world's eighth wonder and Carlsbad of America, an Indiana legend now lives again in a fine work of historical fiction. Set against the Stock Market Crash of 1929, West Baden Springs tells the human drama of those at the great domed hotel during the event that would close its doors forever. The regional novel West Baden Springs was written to promote restoration of this historic national landmark. Since its publication in 1988, the novel has been distributed throughout the state of Indiana, may be found in virtually every public library in the state to include many university libraries, and has sold over five thousand copies. Several sponsors, supporters and distributors have been involved with the novel, most recently being Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and Cook Group, Inc. This partnership has been undergoing a monumental restoration as outlined in the recent PBS broadcast "Save of the Century." Spending exceeds 31 million.
