Canton Artesian Well — Local services in Canton

Aye, reader, attend now as I recount my visit to that most curious and venerable fountain—the Canton Artesian Well. Would you call it but a spigot in the earth? Nay! ’Tis a leviathan of refreshment, gushing with the deep song of the underworld, cool as the breath of Neptune himself.

In the heart of Canton it stands, unadorned yet noble, as though it knows its purpose and spurns vanity. The water, clear as truth and twice as rare, bursts forth with such constancy and vigor one might mistake it for the very lifeblood of the earth.

Men may chase whales, fortunes, or glory—but let it be known, those who find the Canton Artesian Well may find something rarer still: honest refreshment, from a source untouched by time or commerce.

I do wish you were able to reach through a clean up a bit, so many people have let bottle caps slip through the cracks, other than that It’s a nice somewhat hidden spot—I definitely...

I am from the city in another state and was very spectacle at first about this “free spring water” 🤣 However I have filled a glass with this spring water and STARED at it intently, only to find crystal clear beautiful water. 💧 I use it in everything. To make ice, to refrigerate to drink, to cook, etc.

Sometimes there is a wait (sometimes people brings lots of jugs to fill 😫) so be prepared to park and chill but it’s not too bad and the people around are usually friendly. You’re shaded and can hike around if you want (but watch for poison ivy/oak...
