Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was sort of stumbled upon as we walked around the town square. There is a lengthy story plaque that explains what the fountain represents and the history behind it.

To make it easier for workhorses, dogs and cats to get access to water in urban places, money funneled through the National Humane Alliance was used to construct about 125 watering troughs and fountains in American communities during the early 1900s.. Installed in 1912, this five-ton beauty in Abbeville’s Court Square was constructed of bronze-trimmed Maine granite. It’s a rare artifact, being one of the few surviving Humane Society Alliance fountains still in its original location.

The fountain has an interesting design. Water flowed from the mouths of lions into an upper bowl that served as a watering trough for horses. The lower bowls (now filled with concrete) were for dogs and cats. Today the fountain is ensconced in a brick-rimmed pool that surrounds its base. A nearby historical marker provides relevant information.

We enjoyed walking around this town's beautiful square and especially enjoyed the Alliance Fountain and the gorgeous flowers surrounding it which was the focal point. Beautiful in spring!
