Geocache Description:


The Fountain, located on Main Street stands beside the Visitor’s Center.

The Historic Ninety Six “Star Fort” Fountain is the centerpiece of the downtown serving as a gathering place for locals and tourists seeking relaxation and a great place to spend time with family and friends. It is also a great place to take vacation photos as the number 96 is laid within the Pennsylvania stone! The fountain, constructed in 1998, was the result of years of leadership by the Historic Ninety Six Development Association, former Mayor Charles Harts, William “Bill” Gardner, and the support of the entire community to implement the downtown improvement plan prepared by Jason Epley, a graduate student of Clemson University in 1996. The fountain design, although not a replica of the original Star Fort, was inspired by the nearby Ninety Six National Historic Site, its history, and the Star Fort itself. Today, the sounds of water cascading gently down the river rock into the star shaped pool serve as a peaceful reminder of the sacrifices made by many during the longest siege of the American Revolutionary War, the “Siege of Ninety Six.” It was built in memory of the late Holly Drummond, the wife of Senator John Drummond.
