Hot Springs is certainly unique, so unique that the National Register of Historic Places named the city a Destination of Distinction in 2009.

So what exactly makes this town so distinctive? Well, there are plenty of things, which are captured in a 4 ½ minute video made possible by the Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce and produced by PK Productions, a local video production house operated by Karla LaRive and Christopher Crosby, with the music of Martin Meyer.

The video shows images of Hot Springs yesterday and today. This includes the warm and therapeutic springs of mineral water that made the city famous over a century ago, Evan’s Plunge, the world renowned Mammoth Site, Angostura Recreation Center, the popular Southern Hills Municipal Golf Course, the Wild Horse Sanctuary, Wind Cave, filming locations for movies like Into the Wild, etc. etc. etc.

Take a look at the video above and check out some of the features that have made Hot Springs a site worth visiting. The video will be available on YouTube, and on the Chamber’s website. You can also see the video being played at the two visitor centers as well.
