Three stone water towers, erected by local craftsmen in 1892, served the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics until 1950. Their uncoursed masonry walls were built of sandstone quarried from the surrounding hills. The hospital facility, on a former Union Hospital site from the Civil War, was the first of its kind in the United States. The towers were restored in 1981-1982.
