This natural spring is a landmark in the community of Pembroke. The first time I saw this well I was a young lad all of 9 years old. It consisted of a concreted runoff pad and an ell shaped pipe exiting the ground with the coldest and best tasting water around the area. Today the church has replaced the ell pipe with a pitcher pump that is rigged to allow continuous flow.
