The town became a minor resort in the late 1800s because of mineral waters. Professor Janet Mace Valenza mentions Elkhart in her excellent Taking the Waters in Texas: Springs, Spas, and Fountains of Youth (University of Texas Press, 2000) She states that the springs were about one mile Southeast of Elkhart.

One of the many fortunes left behind is believed to be in southern Anderson County. Mexican gold bars, gold coins and jewels have eluded treasure hunters for well over a century, but some still believe there is buried treasure in Elkhart, Texas. Today, little remains of the pre-Civil War settlement known as Pilgrim Community just outside the city limits of present day Elkhart.
