Ebbing and Flowing Spring

The spring is located on land that once belonged to Colonel Thomas Amis, father-in-law of Rogersville's founder, Joseph Rogers.

It is referred to as "Sinking Spring" in a land grant given to Amis by the General Assembly of North Carolina for his services during the American Revolution.

The spring was credited with having extraordinary powers in matters of the heart by the citizens of nearby Rogersville.

Townspeople claimed that any couple drinking from the spring at the peak of its flow would marry within the year.

The spring is privately owned by descendants of Thomas Amis, but it is open to the public.
