In Hanna City, within the Wildlife Prairie Park, is this water pump located near an old house moved to this place.

Wildlife Prairie Park is located west of the city of Peoria. From I-74, take Exit 82 to Kickapoo/Edwards Street, then drive south on this road to the entrance to the park on the left. After going through the admissions gate ($8 for adults), drive to the end of the road and park at the parking lot there. Then use the map and walk to the location near an old house and the butterfly house.

The hand water pump is a green painted iron pump mounted on a wooden base. Below the spout is a metal tub.

The water that comes out of the pump is colored a bright blue. There is also a sign on the base that states, "Please do not drink the water." Another sign on the base states, "Please don't pump real hard. Nice and easy does it!"
