Just when you think you know everything there is to know about Bluffton, a photograph like this shows up.

Can you identify what's going on here?

This is a photograph of the "floating" pool that once served swimmers in Bluffton. It was constructed on the east bank of the Buckeye and then was moved to the quarry where it floated and allowed swimming.

Older Icon viewers with splinters in their behinds may be able to put a date on this photo. It's probably the mid-1940s.

If you examine this photo carefully you'll see dozens of large barrels. Those kept the pool afloat.
