This article discusses the gambling history in Springs Valley 100 year ago at the French Lick Springs Hotel. The conflict between hotel owner Thomas Taggart, the affable Democratic mayor of Indianapolis, and Republican Governor J. Frank Hanly, a man who hated gambling almost as much as liquor, is related. In November 3, 2006, the French Lick Casino will be opening again as part of a project that will also restore the historic French Lick Springs and West Baden Springs hotels. INSET: HOUSE RULES.
