Eastgate Christian Academy

The school term had only just begun at Eastgate when Mrs. Cox brought her freshmen and sophomore history students to the Poland Spring Preservation Society. We were given an educational tour of the first spring that was discovered by Hiram Ricker. Before leaving, we decided to visit the Maine State Building for a few minutes, this plan changed when a very enthusiastic guide gave us an extensively long tour. After our time of visiting, we have come to appreciate the quality and time it takes to produce such a fresh bottle of water. Thank you Poland Spring for a good time, and for distributing your magnificent products throughout the world.
