Always stop there when I go to Lower Mounds Cemetery where my dad’s side of the family is buried. Was there today. People were filling jugs. The flow pipe is now much lower than pictured.
Hello Debbie,
I think that the water is still available for public access, but it has been a few years since I have been at this site to verify.
Thank you! May need to take a drive! ?
Kay what a pleasant surprise when I was doing a search for roadside water wells or fountains in the area of Newport, In. My grandparents and Gr Gr are from Vermillion Co. I have a “color” photo of my mother and aunt drinking from a fountain with their old black Model T beside the road. Beautiful and natural photograph. I have always wondered where this is located. I am sure there are many. I do hope they were not for horses only–this photo has a upward spout. The sound on your site is beautiful. I am going to record it. Thank you Kay for all that you do. Best regards Lavonne
This is beyond beautiful. The delicate white beastie has trekked (what to him must be) a long distance to taste this crystalline water. It makes me feel the Unity of All Living Things, deep in my core.
Thank you so much for this work, Kay, and I do hope it is still in progress. The clips and sounds of the water itself inform your work with a peaceful yet powerful impact, much like water itself. I sometimes come here to meditate, and only wish the clips were longer…
I am a back-road afficianado and a lover of water in all of its forms, and I lifelong have concentrated on the unique music of different Indiana waterfalls. This opens a new audio vista for me. And I am glad (after long consideration) that you have *not* given the GPS co-ordinates or other specific location aids. The seeking and the journeys will make this even more fascinating. For instance, I have driven by the “Stonehenge” well in Morgan County, know I have seen that configuration on a roadside wander, but have no idea of exactly where it is.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! I love the sounds of the water too, they are such peaceful places with such amazing history. I am taking a bit of a break from driving this year, but hopefully will be back to continue this project soon – Kay

I can remember my dad taking me to drink from the spring here over 40 years ago.
Am I able to come fill some gallon jugs with this wonderful water?
