This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Spring Grove Fish Hatchery: So That's Where the Springs Are
I have often wondered whatever happened to the spring from whence the name of our village, Spring Grove, comes from. I've even asked several people in the village where the springs were and they didn't know. One of them was friend Ed whose family has owned the old Hatch farm since in early 1900s. And, even he didn't know.
Then, I came across an article about the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery that I had put aside back in 2018 and went on this blog and looked up Spring Grove Fish Hatchery just to be sure I hadn't already written the article in this blog, and I hadn't.
But, I did read that the reason the fish hatchery was located where it is was because of the hard-flowing spring there. The fish hatchery is located very near what there is of a "downtown" in the old part of the village.
So, this must be where the springs that lent their name to our village are located.
