The Lititz Moravian Church first landscaped the park in the 1700s and for over 200 years maintained the park for public use. Turned over to the community of Lititz in 1956, the park has been recognized by the American Society of Landscape Architects for its beauty. The centerpiece of Lititz Springs Park is the Memorial Fountain. The water display began life as the Roebuck Public Fountain, a three-basin fountain designed and funded by Dr. Peter J. Roebuck in 1895. Dr. Roebuck dedicated the fountain as a memorial to the Grand Army of the Republic, with whom he served in the Civil War.
