The Hotel Wawonda in Liberty was the county’s largest and most elaborate Silver Age resort. Built in 1891, the hotel eventually boasted tennis courts, a golf course and a two-mile-long bicycle track, along with more than three hundred rooms. The Wawonda had a whirlwind existence, and by 1910 it had fallen on hard times, a victim of the Liberty area’s association with tuberculosis. It burned down in 1914.

Henry Ernhout’s White Sulphur Springs House was significant not only because it lent its name to the erstwhile community of Robertsonville, but also because it became the first hotel in Sullivan County to advertise a medicinal spring located nearby. Thousands flocked to take to the waters, which were claimed to have the same chemical content as the famed baths at San Moritz.
