Coker Spring

Coker Spring - Historic Marker. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The freshwater spring less than 1/4 mile southwest was used by prehistoric Indigenous Americans. It was deeded to the town of Aiken in 1844 by William Perroneau Finley (1803-1876) and furnished Aiken's drinking water throughout the 19th century. The brick springhouse, covered in stucco, dates from the early 19th century and features Greek Revival architectural elements. The springhouse and retaining walls were restored in 1972 after archaeological excavations.
