Mount Clemens

Mount Clemens, Michigan · Macomb County · Town History

Mount Clemens became known as Bath City U.S.A. through its mineral baths, hotels and visiting trade. Historical photographs follow bathhouses, Gratiot Avenue businesses, transportation and the work needed to keep the resort industry operating.

The episode considers how investors promoted mineral water after unsuccessful oil drilling and how later economic and medical changes weakened the bath trade. The related Thumbwind article provides more context; the depot and Leap the Dips are also covered in separate Moments.
