These public drinking fountains are like no others in the world. They were originally installed in 1912 with money from lumber baron Simon Benson, who hoped his workers might drink water instead of beer. Legend has it that bar sales became about half of what they were before the Benson Bubblers. The bronze mini-fountains still flow today. Try the clean taste of our local water. There are 50 of them located throughout the downtown area.
