Flume Fountain
Sandwich, Massachusetts
A 208 foot long line pierces through an
existing Oak Pine forest dell at Heritage
Museums and Gardens. The fountain
originates at the Museums’ entry and leads
visitors into the garden both visually and
literally. The fountain is a pristine mirror
of still water 2 feet wide and 208 feet long
when viewed from the Museums’ entry. It is
not until the visitor enters the gardens that
he or she understands how the fountain’s
structure supports this mirror of water
through the forest’s sloping topography
terminating in a 26 foot tall waterfall at the
Daylily Garden.
