This spring and the surrounding land were purchased from the United States government in 1823 by Charles Lawson, a surveyor in the federal land offices in Jackson. In 1825, access to the spring was given to Landy Lindsey, owner of the nearby Spring Hotel and Tavern, a popular stage coach stop. Although ownership of the lot changed many times during the nineteenth century, it served as a primary water source for the town of Clinton until 1906 when a water well was constructed on the site.
