About This Spring

## Overview Farmersville Cemetery Spring is a roadside public drinking spring located in the rural hills of Cattaraugus County, New York, just across the street from the historic Farmersville Cemetery. The spring is piped out to the road for easy access, making it a convenient stop for travelers passing through this quiet corner of western New York. A sign at the spring advises visitors to drink at their own risk. The spring is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year-round. The hamlet of Farmersville sits in the rolling countryside south of Buffalo, an area shaped by glacial activity that left behind numerous natural springs and aquifers. This particular spring has served as a local water source for the surrounding community, and its placement near the cemetery suggests it has been a recognized landmark for generations. ## Directions 1. The spring is located along **Route 98** (also known as Bush Hill Road in this area) near the address **9115 Route 98**, in the vicinity of Franklinville, NY. 2. Look for the **Farmersville Cemetery** on the east side of the road — the spring is piped out directly across the street from the cemetery. 3.

There is a posted sign indicating that visitors should drink at their own risk. The spring flows year-round and is accessible at all hours. The setting is peaceful and rural, with the Farmersville Cemetery directly across the street providing a quiet, pastoral backdrop. The surrounding area features gently rolling hills and farmland typical of Cattaraugus County. There is no formal parking area, but the roadside shoulder provides space to pull over safely.

If you're passing through the Franklinville or Ellicottville area, this spring makes for a quick and easy stop to fill up water containers.
