Iron water pump located on the grounds of the Molly Rock Recreational Area. It still works to dispense water but there is sign stating you must boil the water before drinking. This one appears to be manufactured by the Baker Mfg Company out of Evansville, Wisconsin along with a cursive "monitor" on the pump. I can not find the exact date of placement of manufacture.
