We visited Greensburg's Big Well and it was...well...big. Before visiting, I read that it's 109 feet deep and provided the town with suitable water from the time it was constructed in 1887 until 1932. Today, it's still a popular tourist attraction. Looking down into the well reminded me of climbing to the top of the Kansas Capitol Dome only in the opposite direction. Sadly I won't be able to brave the descent, because the well is currently closed because of safety issues.Wednesday, May 28, 2008
