Elmer's Fountain It is noteworthy to tell passers-by to stop in at Elmer's Fountain during the cold months. The fountains continue to run, and ice builds up around them. The ice creates the most marvelous sculptures. Each are different from year to year. We always love our annual winter trip to Elmer's Fountain to see the latest addition to its artist's talents.

Elmer's Fountain Previously called Arnold's fountain, it was renamed for the sculpture's creator after the death of the property owners. Elmer Almquist built the sculpture out of salvaged mine equipment. Water spouts out of the taller pipes and cascades through the notches of the big beveled gear. Funnel shaped cone crushers capture the water like bowls, giving it places to pause and gurgle over. [Sheila Ryan, 08/18/1998][RA: Photo added October 2006.]
