==History==
In 1863, George Lucy bought five acres of land on the site of Diana's Bath. The Lucy family had built a sawmill in the middle of the cascading waterfalls. During the year 1890, the owner George Lucy began to notice that his property was attracting tourists. In response to this new flow of tourists he built a boarding house that was three stories tall. His business was not as successful as he thought it would be, because of the other major hotels in the surrounding area. In the 1930s the family moved from having a sawmill to having a concrete dam with turbines. The family abandoned the site when the invention of portable mills was introduced and they could now use it when they moved from timber harvest site to the next. Mr. DeSimone purchased the remaining land and used it till the 1950s, when he eventually sold it to the government. This is when the land became National Forest land and the remaining buildings were torn down.〔
