Can you imagine living without a refrigerator? Neither can we - but for centuries people relied on natural springs to keep their perishable food cold. 

At Knapp Farm, the spring house is still there and the spring is still running. But most of the old spring houses in the township have be destroyed by age or construction.

There are three unidentified photos that we found in our photo archives.

If you recognize any of these beautiful structures - and know if they are still standing - email [email protected].
