Animals have licked the salt here since prehistoric times; the French founded a trading post in the early 1700s -- which gave rise to the town's name. A century later the town began to enjoy a reputation as a health spa. The influence of the luxurious French Lick Springs Resort spread to national politics by the 1930s. In the late 20th century, French Lick became familiar to basketball fans as the hometown of NBA legend Larry Bird.
You can sample the waters of French Lick Springs, tour the historic West Baden Springs Hotel, or take a ride at the Indian Railway Museum on weekends. Outdoor recreation abounds in the nearby Hoosier National Forest and at the several state parks surrounding Patoka Lake.
