Andrews Geyser, Fountain in Old Fort, North Carolina, United States.
Andrews Geyser releases water up to 80 feet high through a six-inch cast iron pipe system extending two miles from Mill Creek.
The fountain was built in 1885 near Round Knob Hotel and commemorates 120 railroad workers who died constructing the Western North Carolina Railroad.
Railroad passengers viewed the fountain multiple times while traveling through six tunnels leading to Swannanoa Gap during the late 19th century.
The fountain operates using natural water pressure from a pond at Inn on Mill Creek, with reduced flow during extended dry weather periods.
The water feature received its name from Colonel Alexander Boyd Andrews, who served as Vice President of the Southern Railway Company.
