The Ludowici Well Pavilion


The Ludowici Well Pavilion is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1905 on donated land for the placement of an artesian well to provide a pure water source to the community. An open, octagonal wood pavilion covered with Ludowici tile, was erected for the public's use and served as a town square where farmers and residents gathered to share stories, hear political candidates , and attend socials. The well flowed freely until the 1920s, when the water pressure dropped and a hand pump was installed Today it's a public park. Info from the NEW Georgia Encyclopedia
