Abstract:
The dipping pool, located in Martin County's Griffin Township, was used as a swimming hole by children. It served a dual purpose, however, as ministers used it in baptism services. Quite often, in winter, ice had to be broken to reach the water. No longer used either for swimming or baptisms, today the hole is almost completely hidden by overgrowth.
