From this website (
visit link) we learn:
In the 1800's settlers built a small stone structure over the spring to keep the horses and cows from polluting it. In 1963 the area was a cattle feed lot. To this day if you dig about two feet down you can still smell the "residue" from the former occupants.
Eight years ago the stone building was in disrepair and hidden by weeds. With the help of a couple of long time residents the area was cleaned up, framed and the roof was shingled (at their own expense).
