Artesian Well Being Dug at BFA
October 27, 1904

The Bellows Free Academy trustees are boring an artesian well. The large well that they have dug does not furnish water enough for the building

The above photo is a clip from a larger photo donated to the Fairfax Historical Society by Sidney & Marion Nichols of Johnson, Vermont.  It shows the Old BFA in the 1904 timeframe before the principal's house was built.  Common in those days was the stooked corn in several corn fields and you will notice to the left is a windmill attached to the first artesian well.  The note at the top of the page was taken from an article in the archives of the St. Albans Messenger on October 27, 1904
