Information

Newton's Water Supply

A good water supply was essential and two wells were dug in Newton in the summer of 1871 at the intersection of 5th & Main. There actually is a marker in the street at the intersection of 5th & Main to indicate the location (wait for a long train to go look).

Well is visible in the photo in the center of Main Street.
