Andrews Geyser was built in 1912 by George Fisher Baker of New York as a tribute to his friend Colonel Alexander Boyd Andrews of Raleigh, North Carolina, and in appreciation for the great public service he rendered in the development and upbuilding of western North Carolina. It was restored in 1976 by the Town of Old Fort, with contributions from the people of western North Carolina, and dedicated as a public park for the use and enjoyment of all.
