J C Nichols Memorial Fountain

The JC Nichols Memorial Fountain is the best known and most-captured of all of Kansas City's wellsprings. On any broadcast occasion from Kansas City, you can rely on observing a shot or film of this wellspring sooner or later. It sits at the south end of Mill Creek Park on the east side of Country Club Plaza.The figures were etched by Henri Gerber in 1910 and decorated the chateau of Clarence Mackay in Long Island, New York.

Throughout the years, the wellspring was vandalized and parts disappeared. The buy and establishment of the wellspring was supported by the JC Nichols family, the city and private commitments, including an accumulation by school youngsters in the Kansas City territory. It was conveyed to Kansas City in 1951, repaired by Herman Frederick Simon and devoted in 1960.
