Colorful 1930's "The Big Well" World's Largest Hand-Dug Well Greensburg, Kansas

Description: We are going to try to do about 100 new listings for auction each week (no guarantees). We plan to list sports (mostly football, fishing, baseball & others) + festival and cause pinbacks on Tuesdays. On Friday we will list advertising and political. We will try to give you a nice variety to choose from and there will be 1 to 3 really exceptional pins that are higher valued to keep it interesting. I combine shipping. See "Paul's Pins" for all my listings. Any questions, please ask. History[edit]It began construction in 1887 at a cost of $45,000 to provide water for the Santa Feand Rock Island railroads and finished construction in 1888. It served as the municipal water supply until 1932.[2] It was designated a National Museum in 1972;[3]in 1973 it was awarded an American Water Landmark by the American Water Works Association.[4] Under the name of "Greensburg Well," it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) since 1972.[5] In 2008, the well was named one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas.Although it is billed as the world's largest hand-dug well, at 109 feet (33 m) deep and 32 feet (9.8 m) in diameter,[6] the Well of Joseph in the Cairo Citadel at 280 feet (85 m) deep and the Pozzo di San Patrizio (St. Patrick's Well) built in 1527 in Orvieto, Italy, at 61 metres (200 ft) deep by 13 metres (43 ft) wide[7] are both actually larger.[citation needed][improper synthesis?]
