Diving Deeper into Jacob's Well: An evening with Author Stephen Harrigan exploring the history & mystery of Jacob's Well

Join the Watershed Association for a special evening exploring one of the Hill Country’s most iconic and mysterious natural treasures: Jacob’s Well .

As part of our Land.Water.Connection educational series, acclaimed Texas author Stephen Harrigan will join us for a conversation inspired by his novel, Jacob’s Well . Originally published in 1984, the novel takes readers beneath the surface and into the mysterious underwater passageways of a Central Texas aquifer, weaving the landscape and depths of Jacob’s Well into a powerful story of human connection, risk, and discovery.

Together, we’ll dive deeper into the history, mystery, and enduring significance of Jacob’s Well , exploring Harrigan’s connection to the Well, the experiences and stories that inspired his writing, and what this extraordinary place has come to represent within our community.

Whether you’ve known Jacob’s Well for decades or are just beginning to discover its story, we invite you to join us for an evening of storytelling and conversation.

Light food and beverages will be offered throughout the evening, and a limited number of copies of Jacob’s Well will be available for purchase at the event. The book can also be purchased in advance through University of Texas Press .
