Lewes Fountain of Youth

Lewes, DE

A small stone well marks a spring that local tradition connected to a 1631 Dutch expedition and later dubbed the Fountain of Youth. The legend is the attraction here, not the water: modern visitors should treat the spring as a historic curiosity rather than a drinking source.
