THE ELECTRO CHALYBEATE WELL
In the historic section of Jackson, TN, on Royal St…north of the Fairgrounds. This spring is in a small public park in front of the electric company. Park in the visitors lot to the south of the gazebo (outside the gated fenced area belonging to the electric company). It’s a very short walk to the gazebo which houses the spring. There are 3 bubblers to collect and drink water from. Enjoy!
Nearest address: 600-698 S Royal St, Jackson, TN 38301.
The water has a bit of a sulphuric/mineral flavor. The sign says it is untreated artesian well water.
The historic plaque reads:
“Thousands visited this artesian well in the early 1900s to drink its mineral water believed to cure stomach, liver and Kidney ailments.
It and the adjacent Water Plant, built in 1885, were part of 54 acre Lancaster Park which also included a zoo, a large goldfish and lily pond, bandstand, children’s play-ground, and Johnnys popcorn stand.”
