[1] Rockbridge Baths is located on state route 39, Maury River Road, midway between Lexington and Goshen.

Its owner, Dr. Samuel Brown Morrison, had to give it up in 1900 because of illness, and when he left so did most of the patrons.

A succession of owners followed, and in 1921 the Virginia Military institute took over the property and established a summer school.

VMI then closed the summer school and sold the property, but the swimming pool, part of the dance hall, and some cottages can still be seen.
