Wishing Wells
Since water is the key to life, finding sources of fresh water was important to our ancestors. Occasionally, fresh water sprang from unexpected places, like from underground springs or rivers. For many cultures, particularly ancient European cultures, underground springs were viewed as special, sacred waters that were given to mankind as a gift from the gods. To thank the gods for their gift, they would drop small tokens of their appreciation into the spring. Later, coins were used.
Our wish came true when L Frank from St. Louis built this well for us.
At this wishing well you don't need to drop a coin to make your dream come true. You just need to locate and sign the log book in order to earn a smiley.
