HORSE WATERING TROUGH
The complete history of this trough is not known. It is known that it was first located on the east side of Grand Street and in the center of Maine Street approximately 105 feet east of this location. It was struck by an automobile while at that location during the 1930's and knocked from its pedestal. This resulted in the large chip from the bowl and various other chips and breaks. The trough lay in the street for quite some time and there was talk about disposing of it, but due to the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution, it was moved to Government Springs Park where it remained until it was relocated to this site on September 29, 1989 by a group of concerned citizens.
