Official opening of the Mount Zircon Moon Tide Spring
Description
Taken on July 5, 1859, this photograph documents the “official” opening of the Mount Zircon Moon Tide Spring to the public. The identities of the well-dressed people standing around the spring have not come down to us, with the exception of two individuals. The woman in the center of the photograph, standing at the edge of the spring and holding a darkly colored hat, is Drusilla Putnam Abbott. Her husband, Dexter D. W. Abbott, the originator of the spring water business on Mount Zircon is the man standing to her right.
