Chalybeate, Kentucky
Chalybeate, also known as Chalybeate Springs, is an unincorporated community in Edmonson County, Kentucky, United States, near the Warren County line.
History[]
At the turn of the 20th century, the location of the springs, which contained iron salts known as chalybeate, long thought to be health-restoring, was a popular resort.[1] All that remained of the resort by 2010 was an old spring house for the resort, which was initially closed during the Second World War. A Kentucky Historical Marker with information about that resort was placed at the junction of KY 101 and KY 3611 on June 11, 2016.[2][3]
