Old Timers told of Indians using the nearby spring as well as panning for gold in the hills two miles north, long before white man built the old Wren Bridge. Support pillars can still be seen in the Kaskaskia river near the spring. November 5, 2004 a group of us got together and refurbished the spring. It has been continually maintained for well over 100 years. Passers-by used to always stop and water their horses and have a drink for themselves. I remember carrying water from the spring some 55 years ago while camping on the river with my parents. I can presently pan gold 200 feet from my house near the fish farm two miles north.
