Beskrivelse

Springs have held our deep-seated fascination since time immemorial. With profound significance, spring waters have long been associated in folklore, medicine & religion as a sacred symbol of life, healing & purification. The gifts of pure water from the earth were of the utmost importance to the indigenous Indian.

Springs were an important factor in the settlement of Indiana. In addition to providing domestic water, they provided power for mills & industry. Mineral water spas & resorts were "all the rage" in Indiana during the turn of the twentieth century when the leisure class was "taking the waters" as a healthful cure-all.

Springs are individually unique in their flow, chemical make-up & scenery. This informative guidebook profiles fifty open-access springs & flowing wells across Indiana, providing descriptions, directions, maps & photographs. These geological gems are easily accessible along roadside & trailside.
