| Description |
The Como Springs Resort was formed from a geological thermal water lake and organized by Samuel Francis, Richard Fry and Dr. Wadsworth with a combined capital of $1500.00. In 1889 the grand opening of the resort brought in the locals and the resort's reputation for relaxation and healing began to spread. Because of economic depression, in 1896 the resort had to close its doors. In 1921, the Heiner family reopened the resort and it thrived until 1986 when, because of insurance costs, the resort closed its doors permanently. This collection contains 117 historic photographs ranging from 1889 to 2010. |

Built in 1921, this was one of the resort's rental homes that served as Vernon and Fredella Wordens' residence from 1950-1983. Prior to 1950, the home was occupied by the Griffin family. The right portion was the residence of a fox farm employee, Lawrence Holyoak, and the left portion was added later (info provided by Kenneth Worden). |
