Wishing Well

From the Newton Kansan, April 6, 1978.

"A familiar Newton landmark, the 'wishing well' [water fountain] long located in front of the Amtrak station, took a ride down Main Street yesterday afternoon. Employees of the Curteman Construction Co., the general contractor, and Bartel's House Moving Co., of Hillsboro, the sub-contractor, moved the 18-ton limestone structure. Originally slated for demolition to make way for a new mini-park in front of the railroad station, the fountain will become the cornerstone of the recently developed Mid-Town Park at the intersection of 8th Street and Main."
