In October 2010 the Washington Park Iron Spring was reopened after months of reconstruction. The details about that are in the Springfield Journal Register story:The new Arbor is faithful to the original -- including the lampost. I wonder if the previous one was gas?
This postcard was mailed from Springfield in 1908. Below is the new Arbor.
Click on the arrow below to hear the spring! Enlarging it will show even more detail!
While I was there several families came to see the Spring, even on a 90 degree day! They were not from this area of town. Aren't we lucky to have the Historic Park in our back yard?
