The Hot Springs National Park Quarter is the first of 2010 and the
first overall in the America the
Beautiful
Quarters™ Program. Hot Springs National Park,
destination of the Dunbar-Hunter Expedition sent by
President
Thomas Jefferson in 1804, features prehistoric American
Indian quarries. A bustling town grew up
around the
hot springs to provide health services. Hot Springs was
first established as a national site on
April 20,
1832, to conserve the water from the 47 springs that
emerge from Hot Springs Mountain and to ensure
that
water was made available for drinking and therapy.

The quarter’s reverse (tails side) image depicts the
façade of the Hot Springs National Park
headquarters
building with a fountain in the foreground. The
headquarters was built in the Spanish colonial
revival style
and completed in 1936. The National Park Service emblem
is featured to the right of the door.
Inscriptions
are HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS, 2010 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Design candidates were developed in
consultation with
representatives of Hot Springs National Park.
