Today its only 4 foot deep. It's filled up with sediment that much. In summertime the children of Watertown went swimming about every night. But it's not safe anymore. Now it s polluted quite bad.
Nobody goes in it anymore.
Jane Gillespie is a relative newcomer to Watertown, moving to the area with her husband, Carter, and their six children in 1987. In 1990 the family opened a classic riding stable, called The Riding Place. Its name has since been changed to Withawind Farm, where Gillespie offers horseback riding lessons and trains and boards horses. Clark Reese, across the road, always grades our driveway when it snows. It's centrally located, not far from Marietta, Parkersburg, or Athens.
