Beall Springs

People at the spring

The spring is not just a place to gather water.  Before and after the hotel existed, the spring has been a local meeting place and a destination for travellers.  Some of them are pictured here.

A elderly woman, in dark dress and with a dour expression, stands next to a wood post with a spout extending from the opposite side. Water flows from the spout into a pitcher on the ground. The top of the post sports a decorative wood ball, like a newell post.

Minerva Massey Beall (1818-1885).  Note the tin cup atop the post for those who didn't bring a container.  Water from the spring spout fills a pitcher at lower right.

A woman kneels at the side of the spring, filling a plastic water bottle. Another bottle, already full, sits atop the spring.
