The Stafford Mineral Springs and Stafford's Wells Hotel are the site of a historic mineral springs hotel resort property in Montgomery County, Mississippi. The property was built in 1890 by Dr. Thomas Washborn and was visited for its supposed curative properties.[2] Prior to 1916 it had well houses, bath houses, guest cottages, a dance pavilion, and gambling hall.[2] The springs were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 2000.
