Cragmor was not all about healing and health, it was also a social setting for those with "means" which meant it had to have enough entertainment to keep the patients busy and paying to stay, whether healthy or not. There were multiple activities and events for the patients, staff and their friends or families. A short list of entertainment available is included below.
Bridge
Cribbage
Blackjack
Motoring
Annual Cragmor Rodeo Celebration
Championship Septum Cup Folding Contest
Library
Cinema - Silent Movies
Social Events
Diving into bath cots (NAKED!!)
Journalism
Clock Golf Green
Patients were welcome to spend their free time doing what they like, the list above is not complete but a good overall idea. Some would choose to enter the city for the day to shop or get out of Cragmor's walls. Transportation was available either by horse, walking or by car. The car fees were $1.00 per person for both there and back, being wealthy this was a popular option.
