History

Trinity Springs was originally known as Harrisonville, and under the latter name was platted in 1837. [2] It is the site of three natural springs and was a popular tourist destination in the early 1900s; at one point, seven different hotels operated in the community. [3] The town was briefly the county seat in the 1800s. [4]

A post office was established at Trinity Springs in 1848, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1943. [5]

A rock outcrop covered in historic graffiti and the remains of a historic swimming pool situated next to a natural sulfur spring are most of what is left of the resort, commemorated by a historic sign at Mustering Elm Park along State Road 450.
