Togus, Maine : ウィキペディア英語版 | Togus, Maine Togus is a facility operated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in Chelsea, Maine. The facility was built as a resort hotel, and housed Union veterans of the American Civil War prior to being converted to a veterans hospital. ==Togus Springs Hotel== Springs on the site were originally described by Native Americans as "worromontogus" (sometimes translated as "place of the mineral spring").〔Jones (1999) p.4〕 The 134-room Togus Springs Hotel was built on the site in 1858 by Rockland granite dealer Horace Beals.〔 Beals constructed a stable, large pool, bathing house, race track, and bowling alley on the site in an effort to duplicate the success of the Poland Spring Hotel.〔 Beal's investment of one-quarter-million dollars failed to attract the anticipated number of visitors, and the facility closed when receipts failed to cover expenses.〔
