Located in downtown Jasper this unique fountain is to show the marble that is quarried in this area. Marble is the area's most notable natural resource. In fact, 60% of the monuments in our nation's capital are made with Georgia marble. First discovered in 1836, the vein of marble running under Pickens County has been successfully quarried since the turn of the century. The modest city park across from the courthouse has a creative theme of rock and water representing the precious watershed that washes down from the town’s mountainous backdrop.
