Videos of The History of Desert Hot Springs (presented somewhat chronologically)

The Travels of Fred and Elmer to Desert Hot Springs -February 1980

Fred Anderson (d. 1996) and Elmer Dills (d. 2008) were a couple of travel and cuisine reporters who did special segments for KABC Channel 7 Eyewitness News out of Los Angeles.  These fun reports were aimed at informing the viewers of places they might not have visited.  They did 3 segments on Desert Hot Springs.  We are fortunate to have these very interesting videos - each are about 3 minutes.  (note: the original quality of the video was poor but we've worked to get these as best as possible)

DHS Resident Lynn Wade on "Dinah and Friends"

Desert Hot Springs held a beauty pageant called "The Eternal Youth Beauty Pageant" (if anyone can help us with more info, we'd appreciate it).  This pageant was for women 50 to 100 years of age.  Cole Eyraud escorted the winner, Lynn Wade - age 73, to the TV show "Dinah and Friends" (1974-1980).  On the show is: Dinah Shore, Charles Nelson Reilly, Lawrence Welk , Ricardo Montalban, and Ken Minyard.  Lynn gets a dance with Lawrence Welk and then everybody starts dancing!  10 minutes.

Built July 12, 1941 by L. W. Coffee it was the first hot water spa in Desert Hot Springs.  Coffee's Hot Mineral Baths was known the world over.  Sadly it fell into disuse and was taken down in January 1991.  This video captures the demolition.  Today Desert Hot Springs is still known for its amazing hot mineral water spas -- many of which are restored and updated better than they were originally built.  We wish Coffee's was still here...  2 minutes
