Providence Spring at the Andersonville Civil War Prison site at the Andersonville National Historic Site at 760 POW Road in Andersonville, Georgia on December 2, 2018.

In the summer of 1864, tens of thousands of Union prisoners of war were dying of thirst at Andersonville. Suddenly, a spring erupted from the ground within the stockade. The prisoners credited its appearance to divine intervention, and Providence Spring became part of the established lore of the Civil War.
