Mineral Wells Water Company The Famous Mineral Water Company drinking pavilion was carefully restored by the Palo Pinto Historical Foundation and H.F. and Charles Hickey in 1988. It is here that loyal patrons can still
sample the "Crazy Water Days" of Mineral Wells. Bottled water can be purchased at the pavilion, or customers may bring their own containers and have them filled right before their eyes.
