Sulphur Springs offers rich minerals and unique attractions

Museum River Restaurants

Long ago in the nineteenth century, the area that is now Sulphur Springs attracted visitors because of the rich minerals found within the water. During the 1940s, the neighborhood added an alligator farm and a 40-foot water slide. The Sulphur Springs Museum and Heritage Center resides here, as does the well-recognized water tower in River Tower Park. Many restaurants surround this cool neighborhood, including Checkers, IHOP, and the Olive Garden. When you live here, you’re minutes away from Tampa attractions and beaches.

It's not the best area to live in but when you grow up there it teaches you values that you probably wouldn't understand unless you struggled in the neighborhood. Growing up in the rural area taught me to work hard to give myself a better life and when I achieve my goals I will make sure to give back and help better my original community.
