  1. Susan Taul wonder if the well at Allen Acres is still flowing.

    1. There were several there including the one that fed the minnow pond which later became a swimming pool. I may be wrong but I think I heard it was no longer running. My grandfather ran the plantation for over 30 yrs and I spent weeks at a time there growing up. There were places where the water just bubbled up out of the ground so cold and fresh! We loved drinking from them

    2. Last time I was there was late 1960’s. Beautiful place. I remember Tony throwing me in the minnow pond!

  2. Have seen many of these wells in the black belt.

  3. As I recall there was a salt water artesian well at Ft Morgan in Baldwin Co.

  4. Thanks for posting this and Best Regards!

  5. I remember several in Coffee Co. where I was born. In fact, one was a source of drinking fountains around the square in Elba.

    1. Interesting .,my husband ( now deceased,) was from outside Elba..in the Victoria Community. Been around that square numerous times.

  6. The name should be changed to forest Gump

  7. There are several in Bullock Co. along Conecuh River. Not the best tasting water n the world.
