Description
This well was dug by a farmer here in 1914. It dried out during the drought that followed the 1930s. A road crew dug a pipe from this well in 1938. It began to flow again, and it has continued to do so ever since. The local ghost town Dickinson was the inspiration for the name of the bubbling spout water.
