Mineral Spring near Kennett High School, Conway NH

This gazebo covering the mineral spring was built c. 1892 and restored 2007-2008. It is all that remains of an extensive health resort and water bottling plant. The White Mountain Mineral Springs was featured in period guidebooks and recent archaeological reports. It is on the grounds of Kennett High School.

According to an article by Tom Eastman in the Conway Daily Sun, William C. Kennett bought the resort in 1920, bottling plant and 286 acres from the Nash family. The spacious residence gradually fell into disrepair, and around 1970 was burned down as part of a fire department training exercise.
