The Big Well is the world's largest hand dug well and is a marvel of pioneer engineering that was completed in 1888 as the towns original water supply. At 109 feet deep, this is a breathtaking sight to see. This museum opened in May 2012 and once again allows visitors to descend a spiral staircase into the Big Well and view exhibits that feature Greensburg’s history, the May 4, 2007 tornado that destroyed 95% of Greensburg, and our rebuilding as a sustainable community.
