Additional Description:
In the early 1900s Dawson Springs was home to what was described as the most fabulous showplace in Western Kentucky, the New Century Hotel. Among the hotel's many attractions were running water, steam heat, a ballroom and three-piece Italian orchestras. A new wing was added to the hotel to accommodate the Pittsburgh Pirates when they came to Dawson Springs for spring training from 1915 to 1917. Other teams, such as the Cincinnati Reds, also chose the town for training.
