Alfred A. Tufts Memorial Fountain -- Camden AR - Converted Fountains on Waymarking.com

This medal water fountain is a memorial to Alfred A. Tufts, a northern "carpetbagger", meaning someone from the north who came to the south to exploit the local population and the destroyed economy after the Civil War. Mr. Tufts was able to turn a small investment into a substantial amount land, and built a fine home that is now on US National Register of Historic Places.

The fountain features a plaque that reads as follows:

"This fountain is given to the city of Camden as a memorial to
ALFRED A. TUFTS

"Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters.""
