So it is not surprising there would be a 2nd Seven Springs . This very small town was located along Pa 18 in Beaver County and if you go along the road today you know it as the little Racoon State Park area known as Franfort Mineral Springs where a hotel once stood and the whole town was a little bigger than a postage stamp.
The entire town was no more than 1/2 mile square and consisted of the hotel and a couple homes. and barns etc. and its name disappeared in early 80's when repairs where made to Pa 18 & Us 30 and the sign pointing to Seven Springs was taken down. and like the article published in newspapers at the time Penn Dot predicted the name would be lost to history with in a generation and it has .The Franfort Mineral Springs site is now part of Hanover Twp.
Thou the bigger Town of Frankfort Springs up the road got its name for the hotel Resort .Where the hotel sat was actually named Seven Springs for the fact this is where the Seven different Springs converged and where the towns name came from The Seven springs where said to have healing powers the one even had natural magnesia in its contents and was bottled as a healing cure. Many who visit think the area is haunted as some report seeing Orbs etc or hearing voices or feel they are being watched while many feel nothing at all.
It could well be the spirits of indians watching over you as native Americans knew of the place and its healing waters.
