[CLOSED SPRING ] Ann & Hope commercial well

## Overview **Note: This spring is currently marked as CLOSED. Please verify access before visiting.** This commercial well at 725 Main Street in Millis, Massachusetts has a notable history tied to the Clicquot Club Company, a once-popular American soft drink manufacturer. Clicquot Club operated a bottling factory in Millis and used one of five on-site production wells to source water for their beverages. The company was well known for its ginger ale and other carbonated drinks throughout much of the 20th century. When the Clicquot Club factory closed in 1980, the wells remained, and this particular spring continued to be maintained by Ann & Hope, the retail company that occupied the property. Historically, the well was accessible to the public at a price of $0.25 per gallon, making it a popular stop for locals looking to fill up jugs with spring water. Given that the listing is now marked as closed, it is unclear whether the well is still operational or publicly accessible. ## Directions 1. The well is located at **725 Main Street (Route 109), Millis, MA 02054**, on the site of the former Ann & Hope store. 2. From Interstate 495, take Exit 19 (Route 109 East / Millis) and head east on Main Street. 3. The property is situated along Main Street in the commercial area of Millis. Look for the Ann & Hope plaza or the former Clicquot Club factory site. 4. GPS coordinates: **42.16968, -71.353117** ## What to Expect Because this spring is marked as closed, visitors should be prepared for the possibility that the well is no longer accessible or that the property has changed hands. The site sits in a commercial area along Main Street in Millis, within Norfolk County. Historically, this was a coin-operated public water fill station priced at $0.25 per gallon, and visitors would bring their own containers to fill up. If you are in the area and curious about the site's history, it can still be worth a drive-by to see the location of the former Clicquot Club bottling operation — a small but interesting piece of New England beverage history. However, do not count on being able to collect water without first confirming current access and status with local businesses or town officials in Millis.
