Iron Mike, Oregon, Illinois

Since 1896, sitting at the northeast corner of the Ogle County Courthouse Square is one of Oregon’s unique historical landmarks, “Iron Mike.” This is one of the few remaining cast iron drinking fountains in Illinois. Installed in the horse and buggy days, “Mike” was presented by the Humane Society in cooperation with the City of Oregon. Small animals drink at the base, there is a trough for horses, and a fountain at the top for people.
