Description

The Jacob Fisher Rainbow Fountain is a local and regional landmark located in Hastings, Nebraska. It was originally built as a temporary exhibit for the Electrical Exposition at the 1932 Adams County Fair and was a sign of hope for the community during the Depression and dust bowl days of the 1930s. It was relocated to Highland Park in front of the Hastings Utilities Offices in 1933.

Jacob Fisher was the mayor at the time the park was developed and Rainbow Fountain was the name given by local school children in an essay contest. The name Rainbow Fountain describes the many changing colors of lights that accompany the varying arrays of water sprays that at times reach heights of 67 feet.
