El Dorado Spring
El Dorado Springs was founded around this spring in 1881 due to the waters medicinal value. The stone above marked its first site 75 ft. to the SE until 1890 when routed to this basin. During repairs in Sept. 1992, this sandstone slab was found covering an unknown manhole and tunnel built in 1906, date of last major repairs. To maintain the springs historic integrity, this slab replaced the 1906 stone, now on display at the museum.
