Water barrel filling site on North Shore of Apple Island facing North Point. Location where a barrel was filled with lake water then distributed to island homes for non-cooking purposes. The one horse water cart (a barrel, with a wheel on each side and a hinged top) would be backed into the lake. With a pail, the barrel would be filled with lake water. This supplied water for purposes other than drinking and cooking. There was several wells on the island for the latter purposes. This picture shows the location for filling barrels and primarily where the cows and horses went to drink.
