History

The four corners and center footings of the water tower are still visible down this path, now covered with years of forest growth. The tower provided water pressure for the entire sanatorium, meeting needs of 60 million gallons per year. Water came from artesian springs on the east side of the property and was pumped to this location by the power plant. Complete with its own electric power plant, central heating unit, water supply, laundry, pasteurization plant, homes, farm, and fire protection, the sanatorium was truly a community within itself.
