An informational sign near the Springhouse reads:

"This small stone structure was built by Isaac Pierce in 1801. Constructed around a natural spring, it was used as a cooling place for cheese, milk and butter products during the hot summer months. It also provided a clean water supply.

A fireplace provided warmth during the winter for cheese-making and buttermaking activities."
