Yes, it would be interesting to know what's in the concrete box-like structure there. As for the ruins, I explored them (don't say it too loudly!) maybe a month ago. Awesome.
I've been to the Harrisville artesian well. It was quite interesting. I wonder what is concealed inside the square stone & brick enclosure that the water is coming out of? Also, if you are brave enough to ignore the "No Trasspassing" sings, and hop over the fence, the paper mill ruins are extremely cool to explore. I've done it. Warning: The ruins are in VERY badly eroded shape. So, beware of falling rock. The building is made completely of bricks, rocks, ore, seashells, and concrete.
Wow, I've never seen those before. I dont think we have them on Long Island. I sure wish they'd have those set up as water fountains along trails. I always get so thirsty ppl call me Mr.Thirsty, those would be great. I cant imagine why the water wouldn't be safe to drink. That parking lot at the end was full of SUVs, citiots probably visiting..
@SevereTstormFan Strange question. They flow forever. Those wells were dug or drilled a long, long time ago. You can't stop them without plugging or capping them.
@joe2trees If you mean 679, the road that goes through Harrisville, I'm not sure what the name of it is. In those remonte rural areas I just use the county route numbers. And that particular road never existed back in the days when Harrisville was a live town.
one of these wells, is under the leon county court house in tallahassee fl.
I moved away 5 years ago.....moved to NJ when I was 14 then back to MA 30 years later and miss the Pine Barrens greatly!

The well was dug in 1866 in an atempt at finding water that didnt contain iron. The iron rich water had a corrosive affect on the paper making tubs.
@PinePowerLI That would be an excellent idea!
@joe2trees This is interesting. How did you know this? I have booklets on Harrisville, and maybe it's in those, but I don't remember.
Great vid on a beautiful area ! I checked it out on google earth and found it but the main road was called Chatsworth rd. Is this correct ?
Yes, Route 679 is also known as Chatsworth Rd.
Can you drink directly out of the Estell Manor well...?
I have no idea. I've never tried to drink out of any of them. Maybe though, because there are no signs saying not to.
What happened to part 2 of this video?
Why do you ask? Right now I see it at the top of the suggested list.
