This pump served the school that was established in 1838 and was also used as a church from time to time. The odd thing about this pump is a valve on the outlet. Perhaps it was used to try to keep air from going back down into the well, to avoid having to prime it.

This area is very historic. It is worth the visit for a lot more than the interesting pump!
